Collection of quirky papers from the second Society for
Interdisciplinary Studies Catastrophists' Convention held in
Cambridge in 1997. The papers bring together thoughts from a wide
range of disciplines - physics, astronomy, archaeology, geology,
and anthropology - and from around the world. Amos Nur (Stanford
University) explains how the collapse of Bronze Age civilisation
can be related to a 50-year-long earthquake storm; Gunnar Heinsohn
(Universitat Bremen) argues that Bronze Age ritual and blood
sacrifice was a response to living in catastrophic times; and Mark
E. Bailey (Armagh Observatory) presents a review of recent findings
and historical implications in the study of Near-Earth Objects.
