Book Description

July 1, 2008

Nadie sabe lo que va a ocurrir en 2012, pero este es el año que señalan antiguas sociedades como cataclísmico dentro de la historia humana. ¿Está preparado para lo que se viene?

Vivimos en un universo hostil. El sol está recalentando la Tierra con una radiación excesiva y el Sistema Solar se está moviendo por una parte especialmente peligrosa de la galaxia que podría borrarnos del mapa en cualquier momento. Los expertos en geofísica aseguran que cada 65 millones de años hay una catástrofe de grandes dimensiones que liquida a la mayoría de las criaturas de la Tierra y ese momento se acerca nuevamente. Predicciones científicas y de antiguas culturas —los mayas, el Antiguo Testamento, el I-Ching— dicen que todo va a ocurrir en un año específico: el 2012.

Con este panorama, probablemente prefiere mirar para otro lado, pero no podrá. Lawrence E. Joseph es tremendamente entretenido y seguramente el único que puede escribir sobre el desastre y hacerlo reír a la vez. Una vez que se empieza, no se puede dejar de leer este libro, en el que el autor cuenta su día a día mientras recibe malas noticias de astrónomos en Siberia y Sudáfrica, geofísicos, físicos nucleares, chamanes mayas y médiums. A su vez, es divertido ver cómo intenta mantener su vida personal a flote en medio del caos.

Apocalipsis 2012 es una apreciación fundamentada y alarmante de cuan cerca se

More About the Author

Date and place of birth

February 7, 1954 Danbury, Connecticut. But I was raised in Park Slope, Brooklyn, with which I most closely identify.

Current Residence

Beverly Hills, California, USA

Current position/Key Projects
Lawrence E. Joseph was formerly the chairman of an advanced plasma physics research and development company in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Key projects included the development of the the Vulcan Plasma Disintegrator, an ultra-high temperature (10,000 to 15,000 degrees K) furnace designed to completely dissociate highly toxic biological and chemical wastes, leaving no toxic residue.

Previous Works

Strawberry Fields Forever: John Lennon Remembered (Bantam Books, 1980) (co-writer). Written, typeset, printed and distributed twelve days after John Lennon's assassination, this Bantam "instant book" became a NY Times bestseller and was sold globally.

American Lifestyles for the 1980's (Packaged Facts, Inc., New York, NY 1981) This marketing study examined American social and cultural trends and projected their impact on the consumption of consumer goods throughout the 1980's.

Amerika, (Simon & Schuster, 1987) (co-writer). This novelization of the 14-hour ABC miniseries, on which I also served as creative editor, became a NY Times bestseller and was sold internationally.

Gaia: The Growth of an Idea (St. Martin's Press, hardcover, 1990, softcover, 1991) The book also came out in the United Kingdom (Penguin Arkana, 1991), Italy (Geo), Spain/Latin America (Cuatro Vientos) and Japan. More than any other project, this book, arising from my November, 1986 article on Gaia in The New York Times Magazine, has defined my career. Over the past twenty years, I have since written and lectured on the Gaia movement at UNCED, the 1992 United Nations "Earth Summit" in Rio de Janeiro, at two American Geophysical Union Chapman conferences on the Gaia Hypothesis (San Diego, 1988; Valencia, Spain, 2000) on Surtsey, the youngest island in the world, an ecological preserve at the southwestern tip of the Icelandic archipelago, New York City, Prague, Beirut and many other locations.

Common Sense: Why It's No Longer Common (Addison-Wesley, 1994) This book enabled me to pursue a brief career as a common sense consultant, with such clients as the United Nations Development Programme (assignment in Bogota, Colombia), and the American Society for Industrial Security.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, November 30, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Apocalipsis 2012: Un estudio sobre el fin de la civilizacion (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
This book is a fiasco. The information is not relevant and has no technical back up.
The author used a tricky name to make money on the 2012 rumors of the End of Days.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2012 el hombre que cambio las profecias mayas, March 13, 2010
By 
Ramón Alcides Rodríguez Veras (Santo Domingo, Rep. Dominicana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Apocalipsis 2012: Un estudio sobre el fin de la civilizacion (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
2012 El Hombre Que Cambió las Profecías Mayas (Spanish Edition)
Los mayas lo sabían hace miles de años, 21 de Diciembre de 2012, ¿Fin o evolución?
En esta historia Ghia, un ser extraterrestre, advierte a la Tierra, a través de Jorge, sobre el fin del mundo, su versión coincide con el anuncio que hacen las Profecías Mayas respecto del fin del mundo el 21 de diciembre de 2012, día en que termina el calendario Maya; pero lo más importante es que Ghia le muestra a Jorge cómo cambiar estas profecías para cada uno individualmente.
La 2da. Profecía Maya afirma que "los hombres que cambien su comportamiento y se sincronicen con el planeta, neutralizarán para ellos los cambios drásticos que describen las siguientes profecías"
Habrá entonces dos dimensiones, una positiva y una negativa, unos vivirán la destrucción y otros evolucionarán.
2012 Cómo Cambiar las Profecías Mayas
La historia que usted deseaba leer, de forma simple y clara, para encontrar esas respuestas que mejorarán su YO interior y sus relaciones con sus seres queridos y con los demás. Un mensaje de una originalidad que muy probablemente nunca haya recibido y que renovará el resto de su vida.
