  • 1999

A riveting tale interweaving biblical history, marine geology, archaeology and mythology. The authors are scientists at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University. They marshal convincing evidence to show that indeed there was a flood -- and a huge one -- when the Black Sea was breached by the Mediterranean 7,600 years ago.  (BLK42, $16.00)
