The cycle of cosmic catastrophes : flood, fire, and famine in the history of civilization

The authors claim to provide newly discovered scientific proof validating the legends and myths of ancient floods, fires, and weather extremes. Specifically, they claim to present new scientific evidence revealing the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs, the vanishing of ancient Indian tribes, the formation of the mysterious Carolina Bays, the disappearance of the mammoths, the sudden ending of the last Ice Age, and the cause of huge underwater landslides that sent massive tsunamis racing across the oceans millennia ago
