This book reviews the range of current theories about pole shift - the notion that historic climate change may be due to movements in the position of the earth's poles. The very idea may sound implausible, but at least one such theory won the interest and support of Albert Einstein.

White's book is charmingly ingenuous. He democratically gives equal house room to all comers, whether scientifically serious or plain crackpot theories based on alleged and untestable psychic visions. At least he grinds no axe! ( )
