"Remember the good old days, when doom was straightforward? When all we had to worry about were those Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from the Bible: Pestilence, War, Famine and Death? Well, now we have reason to believe that there are more than just four horsemen. Many, many more. There are comets, gamma wave pulses, cosmic earthquakes, pandemics, and robotic revolts to name a few. 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 doom-laden horsemen we need to worry about - personal doom, gender erosion, asteroid impact, pandemics, super storms, sexual ruin - and much more besides. Fully illustrated in two-color, The Coffee Table Book of Doom helps readers laugh in the face of imminent destruction"--
