Title: Apocalypses
Post by: Dom on February 14, 2006, 06:24:24 PM
Keith,

Came across a book that may be of interest – "Apocalypses" by Eugen Weber ISBN 0091801346 – at the local remaindered shop. Talks about all sorts of different apocalyptic / fin de siecle ideas across time. It's a book following from the authors request to produce the 1999 Barbara Frum lecture at the University of Toronto, so I guess it was a tie in to the Millennium roll over.

I'm into the second chapter at the moment and it's pretty interesting. Hope it's of use.

Cheers,
