Title: Good digest of many theories
Review: I should perhaps start by confessing that I am skeptical of pole shift claims. That being said, I found this book far more interesting than I expected. The author has done substantial research, including digging up biographical information on some pretty obscure people. If you want to get a good idea of the scope of pole shift theories, from those with strong scientific aspirations to pure apocalyptic visions, this is much quicker than reading a stack of sometimes hard-to-find books. White does a good job of pointing out strong and weak points of each theorist, though sometimes I wonder why he even included someone he obviously considered "out there." It drags somewhat in the later chapters, hence the subtraction of a star.
Is the review positive or negative?
