Why read it?

1 author picked The Cosmic Winter as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book continues where Cosmic Serpent left off. It’s the New Testament to The Cosmic Serpent’s old one. Published 8 years after the former, it provides even more details on the cometary astronomy of coherent catastrophism along with a healthy dollop of ancient history.

Just like The Cosmic Serpent, I found this book to be essential reading for the coherent catastrophism enthusiast. Indeed, their books are highly prescient, being published long before the Younger Dryas impact became such a hot topic. In my view, Clube and Napier deserve a Nobel Prize.

From Martin's list on coherent catastrophism.
