Publisher Notes
Recent scientific study by geologists and planetary scientists has turned up dramatic evidence that not only have massive solid bodies from space hit the earth, moon, and planets in the geologic and historic past, but they are likely to hit again, with cataclysmic consequences. This book details the continuing search of such impacts and its implications for the future of life on earth.
Media Reviews
"An apocalyptic vision that should be taken with the utmost seriousness by anyone concerned with the long-range fate of the human race."
