However, finding that the work of a geologist did not really appeal to him, he left the field and pursued his keen interest in the science of geology independently. His interest in natural history was matched only by his interest in ancient archaeology and the connections between the two.
Driven by a primary interest in the enigma of the Ice Age, the author embarked on a quest to solve what is probably the greatest mystery in geology, undeterred by the many decades of prior and futile efforts that had preceded his. Growing up near glaciated landscapes in Ireland, and living among them in the Northeastern United States, he became very familiar with the evidence the Ice Age left behind. Careful observation and an eye for detail enabled the author to achieve insights previously missed or obscured by an excessive adherence to academic dogma.
The author's holistic approach extended well beyond his geology roots, questioning most established narratives, and discovering many inconsistencies that begged for resolution. In a world shaped by colonial history and heretofore dominated by western science, his Irish history and upbringing enabled the author to take a neutral and more balanced view of that science and those who developed it.
Dedicated to this effort, the author's multidisciplinary approach succeeded beyond expectations. Through diligent part-time and full-time endeavors spanning over three decades, he claims to have solved the mysteries of the Ice Age, consequently deciphering the enigma of Atlantis in the process. With some conviction, he asserts that Plato's ancient account holds true, and this assertion is rooted in geological evidence and scientific induction.
This multi-part series constitutes the author's magnum opus, a comprehensive chronicle of his journey of discovery. In its pages, he unveils the tapestry of his discoveries, reshaping the narrative of Earth's geological history and challenging long-standing theories and assumptions. The series stands as a testament to his patient dedication, offering readers a fresh lens through which to perceive the Earth's natural and human history.view less
