Finding that the work of a professional geologist did not really appeal to him or reflect his interest in geology, he left the professional field for a different career and took up the study of the science in his spare time. This private and independent study better reflected his interest in the subject and left him free to indulge this interest in any and all aspects of the science that might strike his fancy. At the same time, he had maintained a life-long interest in the field of archaeology, particularly that pertaining to very ancient times, going back as far as the Ice Age.
One of the greatest mysteries in the science of geology is the Ice Age, and it was this phenomenon in particular that the author sought to investigate and perhaps find a solution. Being well aware that many had tried before him, going back to 1840, he was quite aware of the challenge posed. However, he was also somewhat suspicious, because he had a hard time accepting that 160 years of supposedly diligent study could prove so sterile. He resolved, therefore, to study all aspects of the problem, all previous theories, and all the different branches of science that might pertain to the question.
One advantage the author does have in studying the Ice Age is the fact that he grew up in Ireland and now lives in the Northeastern United States, both of which were scenes of glacial action, so to speak, and the northern states and Canada are within relatively easy driving distance. He has traveled and hiked extensively in this area, and examined much of the evidence for himself.
In a general way also, the author found that in certain other branches of science, what he was taught in college did not match what he could see with his own eyes. He grew up near one of Ireland's major rivers, and swam in that river throughout his youth. He became, therefore, very familiar with it. Even though he was not studying geology during these early years, he could not help but notice the behavior of the river from year to year, and, modesty aside, the author has a talent for taking in detail, noticing things, and remembering them, and that river did not behave the way it was supposed to. There were other phenomena that also did not fit, and they will be mentioned as the series progresses. Given that Ireland, long a British colony had been annexed, without the Irish people's consent, by Britain in 1801, it featured prominently in the development of the science of geology, along with the rest of what constituted Britain at that time, i.e., England, Scotland and Wales.
The author was, all along, also well aware of the mystery of Atlantis, and other mysteries from ancient times. There are quite a lot of enigmatic archaeological sites scattered around the world, as well as a lot of other phenomena that seem also to defy explanation.
While he has spent upwards of thirty years (part-time and full-time) at this work, he can now declare the endeavor successful and avers that he has solved the mystery of the Ice Age, and all other ice ages also. At the same time, the solution to the Ice Age question automatically provides the solution to the mystery of Atlantis, and whether it existed and what happened to it. The author, therefore, also avers that he has solved the mystery of Atlantis and thus can declare that the island continent did exist exactly where Plato said it did, and sank in the ocean as per Plato.
Further, the solution to the Ice Age also provides answers to many other geological puzzles, and perhaps a few archaeological ones also.
This book series is a complete chronicle of the results of the author's work wherein all these answers will be revealed, and a different geological history of this world defined.view less
