Summary
Details

""Ragnarok: The Age of Fire and Gravel,"" by Ignatius Donnelly, explores a compelling theory of catastrophic change. Delving into the science of comets and their potential impact on Earth, Donnelly connects geological evidence of natural disasters with mythology from various cultures.

This thought-provoking work examines the concept of catastrophism, suggesting that cometary collisions have dramatically reshaped our planet throughout history. Donnelly meticulously blends scientific observation with interpretations of ancient myths to build his case.

Drawing on diverse sources, ""Ragnarok"" presents a unique perspective on geology and the forces that have molded the world we know. Explore the enduring question of cosmic influence and the potential for recurring cataclysmic events in this carefully prepared print edition. A fascinating read for anyone interested in space science, Earth's history, and the intersection of science and ancient lore.
