<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>A re-examination of the phenomena described in Charles Fort's influential 1919 work, <em>The</em> <em>Book of the Damned, </em>focusing on Sea and Space Phenomena.</p><p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>UNRAVELLING SEA & SPACE MYSTERIES OF THE PAST</p><p> Charles Fort published his first and most influential book, <em>The Book of the Damned</em>, a century ago in 1919, collecting together many historical reports of strange phenomena in the sky, in space and in the sea. Since the birth of the UFO controversy in 1947, Fort's writings have been cited in countless books and web pages. Yet this is the first time in a hundred years that researchers have systematically verified the sources and content of every one of these oft-recycled stories, correcting many errors, placing each case in its historical context, and submitting it to a careful scientific investigation in an attempt to find a conventional answer.</p><p> Following on from the first volume, <em>Redemption of the Damned, Vol. 1: Aerial Phenomena</em>, this second volume examines <em>Sea and Space Phenomena</em>. What were these phenomena? Is it possible to find non-exotic explanations? With the advantage of modern knowledge, methods and resources, in most cases the answer proves to be yes. Some of the solutions found may shock the general reader and surprise even specialists. Yet in the end a few well-documented events remain unexplained.</p><p> <strong>This is a 244 page, large format (8.27 × 11.69 inch) book with more than 50 illustrations, many in color!</strong></p><p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Martin Shough and Wim van Utrecht use an arsenal of 21st-century tools, both online and in archives, to deconstruct and reconstruct the astronomical, meteorological, and oceanographic anomalies that Fort has puzzled us with since 1919. Yes, Fort cherry-picked his facts to tell a good story, as the authors point out. Nonetheless, they manage to extract the marrow from many of these old bones, and in doing so, take Fort to a new level of relevance. Reassessing Fort's data is not a job for the faint-hearted. Shough and Van Utrecht are up to the technical and historical challenges, leaving no meteorite unturned in their quest to find reasonable explanations." - from the Foreword by George M. Eberhart, former senior editor of <em>American Libraries</em></p><br>
