Here's what people are saying about
Not by Fire but by Ice
"I was charmed and delighted by your discussion of the fate of all
those wooly mammoths. I am sure you are emphasizing something
very important with the underwater volcanic activity." ·
- John E. Sanders, Professor Emeritus of Geology,
Barnard College, Columbia University, and author
of Principles of Physical Geology
"A must read! Fascinating. Forget global warming! You'll shudder
every time you see a snowflake! Massive droughts/floods have swept
many nations. We've mentioned polar shifts before. Not by Fire but
by Ice puts all this together in a magnificent fashion with the best
evidence yet." -The Imernational Har1y Schultz Letter
"Not by Fire but by Ice shocks your liver away from its moorings, it
is that riveting. A ten-inch rain- turned into snow-each day for a few
weeks would mean 100 inches of snow a day in such abundance it
could bring down every roof in Vancouver, Moose Jaw or Fargo."
-Charles Walters, Editor, Acres USA
"I just finished reading your well-documented, fascinating and
shocking book. I found it easy to agree with you."
- Dr. Louis Thompson, Climatologist, and
Professor Emeritus, Iowa State University
"Congratulations. A very interesting, eminently readable book. Your
excellent writing style is reminiscent of Carl Sagan's wonderful
books." -Jeffrey P. Harris, Executive Director,
People for the West
"An easy, enjoyable, and fascinating read. The book should be a best
seller, although it may not be politically correct to acknowledge the
relatively feeble impact of man relative to the long-term episodic
forces of nature." -Dr. Daniel A. Walker, Seismologist, Retired
University of Hawaii at Manoa
"A book the entire world should read-before it's too late. With
thorough research and good science, Felix demolishes the myth that
humans are responsible for the planet's ills. We should act wisely and
quickly to save the human race by heeding the truth about geo
magnetic reversals and the coming ice age."
-Lou Guzzo, author, with Dixy Lee Ray, of
Trashing the Planet, and former managing
editor of The Seattle Post-lmelligencer
"Felix has done a most remarkable survey of the literature of the
geologic past to delineate what natural processes may show us of our
climatic future. For that alone the book is useful. His central
theme-that we are approaching the end of this Holocene Inter
glacial-is, I think, quite correct. Since we have used up the usual
time of past interglacials, it is possible that our current Little Jee Age
could turn into the next major glaciation."
-Jack Sauers, Research Geologist
"Talk about thought provoking! You made a believer out of me. Your
theory about magnetic reversals and the coming ice age really makes
sense." -Bette Filley, Author of The Big Fact
Book Abour Moum Rainier
"I was skeptical when I began reading Not by Fire but by lee. But I
found a book so well-researched and interesting that it compelled me
to read more. By the time I finished I was persuaded that the next ice
age could begin any day. As a former high school science teacher, I
think this book will fascinate readers from ninth grade through adult."
-Mary Young, former high school
science teacher
"The only book I would consider a must read. Makes more common
sense than "meteor collisions" or man-made ecological disaster. Reli
gious readers and writers may become the strongest supporters of ice
age calamity and magnetic field reversal. Certainly this Christian
writer is such a believer." -Bob Olson, Reviewer, and Author of
Memories with a Christmas Auitude

A long time ago,
the universe was made of ice.
Then one day
the ice began to melt,
and a mist rose into the sky.
Out of the mist
came a giant made off rost,
and the earth and the heavens
were made from his body.
That is how the world began,
and that is how the world will end,
not by fire
but by ice.
171e seas will freeze,
and winters will never end.
