Author:Damian Thompson
Damian Thompson highly evocative, brilliant and comprehensive account of apocalyptic belief was a phenomenal critical success upon hardback publication. It brings together the massacre at Waco, the Solar Temple suicides, the Japanese subway gas attack, UFOs, angelic visitors and other apparently unrelated phenomena and places them in the context of the dawning of a new world at the time of the millennium. This is the revised, updated edition in which Damian Thompson tackles subjects such as the millennium dome and the millennium bug; rejacketed by Vintage for the lead-up to the year 2, 000.
A rallying cry to reclaim lost routes and preserve this precious resource for future generations
—— Walk MagazineA celebration of an ancient network and a rallying cry to reclaim what has been lost and preserve it for future generations.
—— The Best of UK'To rewrite Darwin requires considerable skill, bravado, and, possibly, a touch of madness. Jones clearly has more than his fair share of all three...a barnstorming tour of modern genetics and its implications for evolutionary theory'
—— Kenan Malik , Independent on Sunday'The richness is almost overwhelming, and I am awed by Jones's reading...hugely enjoyable'
—— Steven Rose , Independent'Explains the workings of evolution, as they are now understood, with beautiful clarity and, naturally, with a lot more fun and jokes than Darwin ever allowed himself. The book is a pleasure to read'
—— Mary Midgley , New Statesman'A clever book about serious ideas that can happily be read on the beach'
—— Colin Tudge , Sunday Telegraph'Exhilarating'
—— Melvyn Bragg , Observer'As enthralling in its own way as was Darwin's original'
—— Kenan Malik , Independent on Sunday
