Description: The 5,125-yearlong Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012, which many claim portends a massive global transformation. Some dread its arrival, believing it will be the beginning of the end. Others await it with delicious anticipation, expecting it to be the catalyst for a quantum leap of consciousness, the dawning of a true New Age.
Others wonder if anything at all will occur--remember Y2K?
2013: The End of Days or a New Beginning? examines all of the popular myths, prophecies, and predictions circulating about 2012, including the Mayan teachings of time acceleration and global awakening on a consciousness level. Furthermore it takes an in-depth look at lesser-known predictions and prophecies, and at the more scientific and reality-based challenges we will face.
Some of the questions this book explores include:
* Will cosmic and earthly chaos disrupt our lives with destructive sunspot cycles, volcanic super-eruptions, monster storms, mass extinctions, and asteroid threats?
* Will huge leaps in technology create bionic humans, computers that think, and an end to all disease--possibly even death itself?
* Will economic and geopolitical powers shift out of the West and into the "the New Eurasia," with new wars being fought over dwindling resources as global warming takes its toll?
* Will this be the evolution revolution of human consciousness--or the final countdown that leads to Armageddon itself?
* Will it be the apocalypse so many have feared--or the rebirth of the world and the transformation of humanity?
There is much, much more to the 2012 enigma than just an ancient calendar, and 2013: The End of Days or a New Beginning? will prove it.

Review Summary: Poor writing style and subtle political agenda ruined the book |

Details: I found the first part of the book interesting. About one-fourth of the way though, however, the author's political agenda crept in and made me begin to question the many quotes she was using. As I proceeded I found some of the information absolutely to be untrue from extensive reading I have done in the areas she was addressing. Basically, it ruined the book for me at that point. Determined to proceed with it for useful nuggets it might contain, I found myself bored with quote after quote after quote. There was not a lot of original thinking. |

Review Summary: 2013 is an excellent book! |

Details: With all of the "doom and gloom" predictions of 2012, this book is a refreshing change of pace. Rather than rehashing what many others have written about their belief that 2012 will signal the end of humanity, 2013 was an extremely interesting and engaging read.
Marie explores a variety of relevant subject matter relating to the mystery of 2012. Throughout the book, the authors wit and humor added especially nice touches to sections which could have been somewhat "dry." Her well-researched facts are appreciated, and the attention to detail is clearly evident.
With t-minus 4 years and counting to this seminal date, my suggestion is to begin preparing by reading this book now! |

Review Summary: Written like a textbook |

Details: I don't normally write reviews, but just had to get my two cents out about this book. First I will say that the subject matter fascinates me, and there is a plethora of interesting information in this book. However, the style of writing irritated me to no end. I feel the book is very dry and similar to reading a text book. Facts are thrown at you one after another, many of them in very technical terms. In some places I found myself thinking "what does this information have to do with anything?". But what I found extremely annoying, was the author's constant need to tell us what will be in the book, what will not be in the book, what we will not be talking about now, what we will be talking about in future chapters, what there isn't time to discuss in this book. That is INCREDIBLY annoying! It got to the point that every time I found a phrase like that, I tried to imagine the paragraph without that statement...in my opinion they are completely unnessary and like I said, annoying.
That said, I did find the book interesting. Perhaps I just do not enjoy this author's particular style of writing, but I disliked it enough that I would avoid her titles in the future. |
