Excellent choice on 2012 - a must read topic
If you are looking for a good book on 2012, I recommend this one because it is an excellent book with chapters / essays written by the most authoritative people who have researched and studied the subject for years and decades. It is in 4 parts:
Pt 1 - on the Mayan calendar & cosmovision - explaining the origins and technology, Mayan world.
Pt 2 - on the science, business & politics in the context of 2012 - chapters on the birthing of a new world; the big changes getting to 2012; socially responsible business and nonadversarial politics; understanding the great year / cycles of existence; and more
Pt 3 - on spirituality, signs and symbolism surrounding 2012 - how the clock is ticking; the bible code; an awakening world; the start of a new era; galactic alignment & more
Pt 4 - a new humanity: evolution towards 2012 and beyond - a tantric path to global transformation; awakening to greater reality; the great turning as compass and lens;

The book is very readable and extremely interesting in the breadth of information covered. 2012 is not just about a calendar - there is so much more - it makes us question our conceptions of time itself and how arbitrary everything material is. But the technology is so fantastic - calibrated to pretty great accuracies and it's hard to be overly sceptical - how can we when we're mere grains in a universe that's within multiple universes that is all so intricately infinite.

There has definitely been a lot of peoples who existed before us who knew a lot more than us and they keep leaving clues and information everywhere for us to discover and get our thick heads round . . .

It's not far off and I'd rather be ready than not!
Like they say, it's up to each of us to make up our own minds - but I can't help but feel that there's a lot to it . . . mostly the science is very convincing.
Mankind really does need to wake up - It cannot happen fast enough.
2012 is getting VERY close - there is a REAL sense of URGENCY that we ALL need to act to ensure our home planet is not destroyed. So much of the natural resources are WASTED. [There is a limit to how much abuse our planet can take before it packs in and stuff the humans and leave us to our own sorry demise!]

This book is highly recommended which looks at 2012 from many angles - spiritual, economical, ecological and Scientific. It's fascinating but moreover, it IS VERY IMPORTANT that we all wake up and take responsibility for what goes on around us all the time. 21 Dec 2012 seems to be the end date of a calendar but does not seem to mean the end of the world but a new era - but what could it mean? This book explores the possible answers.
Hope that helps - thanks for reading this far.

The Mystery of 2012
Worth all the time and effort which you will need to read and in places probably reread this work. It is not just one persons views but a complilation of views of people who have been studying the phenomenon that will be 2012. We have our doom and gloom merchants. We have the beating of the drum that this will be the start of a new age when greed will be thrown out and a new age of tolerance will manifest. We have the views that largely 2012 will be a nonevent much like the event of Y2K was when all our computers were supposed to crash and they didn't. There are discussions on what the Mayans may have meant or not meant and we have scientists views on galactic allignment. The New Age movement gets a look in as well with their views being taken seriously and there is also discussion about those who are of non Maya descent who have managed to make themselves a living from all the theories on 2012.
Overall a thoughtful, well put together book which is balanced in its treatment of all the people who gave their time and effort to this book. I think all views and levels of education are catered for so that everyone will be able to take out of the book something which will be of use. Highly recommended.

Gives one a real sense of what 2012 is all about
This book explains the whole 2012 phenomenon from many different (and well-researched) angles.

It sheds light on all the hyperbole and nonsense that has cropped up around the subject on the internet and elsewhere.

More than that, this book has given me hope.

Yes, the state of the world is pretty critical right now. But maybe, just maybe, the forces of change are powerful enough to transform humanity.

In this book we read about the many very positive things that are going on in the world right now that could indeed lead to a new and golden age for the world.
