Summary:"The idea of the annihilation of life is a culturally universal concept. The first half of the book invites readers to explore ancient, medieval, early modern, and modern popular conceptions of the apocalypse. The second half focuses on the continuance of apocalyptic expectations and how they are understood within the realms of politics and popular culture"--Provided by publisher.
