Reviews

“The Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes tells a fascinating, remarkable, and scientifically convincing story that will change how we look at our world. The important conclusion that catastrophes like this could happen again at any time should inspire a united global effort to confront this serious danger to Earth.”
*Prof. Anders Nilsson, Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory, Stanford University, and the Department of P*

“Reads like a mystery novel while presenting hard evidence for a cosmic catastrophe 13,000 years ago that rendered mammoths and many other large North American animals extinct. This is serious research presented in an easy-to-read style.”
*Bob Kobres, Carolina Bay Archivist, University of Georgia Libraries*

". . . possibly, the most concise picture of our planet's history ever presented."
*Henry Reed, Venture Inward, Jan 2007*

"This well-written book reads like a captivating detective story and, in my view, is the best available popular account of the great ice-age calamity that significantly shaped humanity’s cultural evolution."
*Georg Feuerstein, Traditional Yoga Studies, Oct 2006*

"This is a memorable reading experience with much information to consider. This book is a page-turner."
*Lee Prosser, Ghostvillage.com, July 21, 2006*

"The Cycle of Cosmic Catastophes is not a book for the faint of heart; it is true to its title. In an easy to read manner, three vetted scientists bring ancient myths and geological facts into, possibly, the most concise picture of our planet's history ever presented."
*The Intuitive Connections Network, Jan 25, 2007*

"This is a book to get excited about. It's riveting, suspenseful, factual, and thoroughly science based. The authors are certainly not shallow armchair couch potatoes spinning tall tales as they have solid credentials and backgrounds in science and have traveled extensively to numerous archeological sites all over the North American continent to literally unearth and to piece together numerous scattered and startling clues."
*Brent Raynes, Alternate Perceptions Magazine, Dec 2007*

"The authors, through their own research around the world provide a new explanation about the puzzling mysteries of cosmic catastrophes, especially one 13,000 years ago at the end of the Ice Age that is chronicled in rich oral traditions."
*Nancy Pearlman, editor, The Compendium Newsletter, Nov/Dec 2007*
