Ancient Mines of Kitchi-Gummi
The first two editions of "Ancient mines of Kitchi-Gummi" (3000) copies sold out. The second and this third edition include a 26 page Epilog of updated and new Information.
The major question the book answers is: Was there a booming international copper trade in North America four thousand five hundred years ago? If so, who was doing it? Many of you history buffs and students of Ancient American History, Anthropology, Archeology, and Native American Studies may never have heard of the Ancient Copper Mines of Lake Superior. Yet for the last 500 years since Columbus "discovered" the New World, controversy has raged. Was he the first? Now, of course, we know he was not. But old habits don't change easily or quickly. This book weighs in on this controversy. How did the peopling of America really happen? It does this in a straight-forward fashion. The book is a simple case study of how these mines came into existence and the repercussions of the answer. The first edition won the Anomalist Award for one of the best books of 2000. Patrick Huyghe said, "This is one of the best presented and most convincing theories of pre-Columbian visitors to the new world I have ever read".

Riding The Wild Orb Are we going to encounter a galactic wave of magnetism that will reverse the magnetic poles of earth and allow the pole locations to move? Have some astronomers already discovered it? Is the question, "How were the ancient Mammoths frozen?" finally answered? Is the cycle of the Mayan Calendar really 83 years, and does it perfectly predict the sunspot cycles? Is there a way to make weather predictions 300 to 400 percent more accurate? In this book we develop a theory to explain these questions and some of humanity's more perplexing weather enigmas.
