  Doomsday. Judgement Day. Day of Reckoning. Apocalypse...As the man with the sandwich board says, 'The end of the world is nigh'. Whether it be an Act of God, a natural event, or as the result of a man made disaster, never has the threat of annihilation been more pressing than right now. A is for Armageddon is a brilliantly funny, thoroughly factual and stunningly illustrated guide to disaster - from the rise of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse , animal zoonosis and erupting super volcanoes to animal flatulence, obesity and World War III, from economic collapse and the gulf stream collapse, to genetic modification and the collapse of causality - accompanied by a critical time line for when we might expect to die - now, soon, later, or too late...it's already started. A veritable panoply of impending doom, this catalogue of disasters will inform and delight in equal measure. Just don't read it before bedtime.
