The Great Remembering

When massive ice dams failed 13,000 years ago, they unleashed floods of unimaginable scale across North America-catastrophes that may have triggered the last great ice age and left indelible marks on human memory. Drawing from cutting-edge research in geology, archaeology, and anthropology, The Great Remembering explores the fascinating possibility that humanity's oldest flood stories-from Noah's ark to Native American traditions-preserve actual memories of these prehistoric disasters. This groundbreaking investigation reveals how science and mythology intersect to illuminate our species' most ancient encounters with the awesome power of a changing planet.
