Table of contents: title: Remember the good old days, when doom was straightforward? When all we had to worry about were those 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse from the Bible: Pestilence, War, Famine and Death? Well now we have reason to believe that there are more than 4 horsemen. Many more. In fact, at the last count the authors of The Coffee Table Book of Doom put the estimate at 27 horsemen. And that's not all. According to the ancient prophesies of the Mayan Calendar, our next date with doom is due on December 31st, 2012... The Coffee Table Book of Doom is a brilliantly funny yet erudite compendium of all the 27 doom-laden horsemen we need to worry about; title: personal doom, gender erosion, asteroid impact, pandemics, super storms, sexual ruin; title: and much more besides.
