Interesting book
This book is full of details and information that I found myself dragging through. It was, however, interesting and makes a person think about what could possibly be true about 2012. It was hard for me to get through it, though, because of all the details. They are, however, necessary to affirm what the author is telling us about the future and the year 2012. Even though it has a lot of facts to study, there is enough general comments about those facts, to not make the book become impossible to understand.

2012
2012 is an excellent anthology of all the various takes on the significance of the year 2012. The authors are very well versed in their various fields and their interpretations of what exactly is going to occur is both exciting and hopeful for the most part. We're apparently at a point where many different cycles societally, spiritually, politically and physically as it applies to the earth, the other planets in our solar system, and our solar system with respect to the galactic plane of our Milky Way galaxy are coinciding in a way that its believed, by the authors, to have a profound effect on human kind and the destiny of this planet. Fascinating reading...
