About this title: Two geophysicists investigate a huge flood 7600 years ago in the region of the Black Sea. New discoveries about the history of rapid climate change suggest that mounting seas over a wide area rapidly created a human diaspora, who have since passed on the legends and epic tales of a Great Flood.

"This book is such an amazing synthesis of science, anthropology, and history. None of the science is dumbed down, but it's still a riveting read (I couldn't put it down)."
"Science backing up the occurrence of Noah's flood. If you're not into carbon dating and different specimens of sea life found in ocean floor cores, this is probably not the book for you. It had an interesting view on the similar stories of varied faiths, and an anthropological aspect to it as well. I felt like it was a little long though."
"Becky and I had a short trip to Turkey, and a friend said "read Noah's Flood". It was the perfect book for the flight over and back, because it essentially is centered on the Bosporus. It was not until we were in Istanbul and Ephesus that we finally got a sense of such vague names as Sea of Marma, Black Sea, Mesopotamia, Anatolia, Fertile Crescent, Euphrates and Tigris, Danube, and so forth. This book helped make the connection. The essence is 7500 years ago the Mediterranean broke through something like a mother nature dam on the Bosporus and tumbled 500 feet down on the fresh water Black Sea. The Black Sea had been down (after several thousand years) and probably was the center of modern civilization. As the salt water poured in and shorelines moved like a mile/day, the folks fled and a lot didn't make it. Oral retelling of this massive flood over thousands of years .... and you can guess the rest.
The text can be very scientific and dense at times (hence the 4 stars), but the linkage to literature, religion, archeology, anthropology reflects a book that resembles (footnotes and citations) intellectual work."
