Synopsis

Hapgood's tour de force is back in print! This riveting account of how earth's poles have flipped positions many times is the culmination of Hapgood's extensive research of Antarctica, ancient maps and the geological record. This amazing book discusses the various pole shifts in earth's history -- occurring when earth's crust slips in the inner core -- and gives evidence for each one. It also predicts future pole shifts: a planetary alignment will cause the next one on 5 May 2000! Packed with illustrations, this book is the reference other books on the subject cite over and over again. With millennium madness in full swing, this is just the book to generate even more excitement at the unknown possibilities.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Now at last, Charles Hapgood's classic is back in print. This carefully abridged edition of the author's seminal work, which has served as a sourcebook for many recent writers on cataclysms and pole shifts, including Graham Hancock, deals with many issues that remain unexplained by science today. The author, an academic, spent years researching Antarctica, ancient maps and the geological record. 'The Path of the Pole', his riveting account of how the poles have often changed position on the earth's surface, is the culmination of his work. Polar wandering is based on the idea that the outer shell (crust) of the earth shifts about from time to time, moving some continents toward and others away from the poles, changing their climates. Geologists who have accepted that these movements occur generally put the last such change a very long time ago. Hapgood believed that polar wandering was primary and caused the displacement of continents, and that the last shift of the earth's crust took place in recent time, at the close of the last ice age, resulting in major climatic changes. 'The Path of the Pole' discusses the various "pole shifts" in the earth's past, giving evidence for each one, and moves on to shifts that may occur in the future.
