A new book by Kenneth Hsu just released. Info below.

Prof. Dewey McClean explains his Deccan Trap Volcanism and anti-impactor
theory on the web. He is reported to be writing a new book explaining how
Alvarez suppressed his findings.

CLIMATE MAKES HISTORY
The history of mankind as a reflection of climatic evolution

KENNETH J HSU

Orell Fussli Publishers (Zurich)
On sale 17th Oct 2000 in German as:
KLIMA MACHT GESCHICHTE
Menschheitsgeschichte als Abbild der Klimaentwicklung

Translation of back cover German text:
Why was there a mass exodus of the Germanic peoples? How were the Slavs able
to penetrate the Balkans and Northern Germany? What were the origins of the
Christianisation of the East? The history of mankind leaves many fascinating
questions unanswered. The renowned palaeoclimatologist and geologist,
Kenneth J. Hsu, has applied himself to these questions in a new and unusual
way. His theory is that the chronicle of the history of our civilization is
an expression of the climatic changes that have taken place over the last
5000 years, and that it is possible to use the patterns of climatic changes
of the past to predict those of the future.  Historically, global
temperatures have changed  by only one or two degrees on average, but with
terrible consequences. Global cooling meant that food supplies fell below
subsistence level, which led to mass exoduses of people in search of a
'place in the sun'. Hsu's investigation unearths many astonishing parallels
between the European and Asiatic civilizations. It is the history of
mankind, clearly and excitingly written from a new perspective.

Kenneth J Hsu is Emeritus Professor of Geology at the Federal Institute of
Technology, Zurich. He is the author of 20 books THE GREAT DYING: Cosmic
Catastrophe, Dinosaurs and theTheory of Evolution, CHALLENGER AT SEA, THE
MEDITERRANEAN WAS A DESERT, GEOLOGY OF SWITZERLAND, THE SEARCH as well as
400 scientific papers on paleoclimatology, geology, marine biology,
evolution, Gaia, and Chronon Physics, including "SUN, CLIMATE, HUNGER AND
MASS MIGRATION", "THE MORTALITY OF THE PLANET", "IS GAIA ENDOTHERMIC" and
"GEOPHYSICAL,ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL EVIDENCE SUPPORTS A SOLAR MODEL
FOR CLIMATE CHANGE". He is the recipient of the Wollaston Medal (the highest
award in Geology) and a Foreign Associate of the U.S. Academy of Science.
