23.5° Diary of a Catastrophic Flood

What if the story of Earth is far more dramatic than we ever imagined?

Earth’s Deep History, Planetary Science, and the Origins of a Habitable World

In 23.5° Diary of a Catastrophic Flood, readers are taken deep into the violent and extraordinary processes that shaped our planet long before human history began. From the formation of Earth’s first oceans to the atmospheric transformations that made life possible, this book reveals a world forged by immense forces—cosmic collisions, planetary upheaval, and vast global flooding events that transformed a hostile sphere into a living world. Blending geology, planetary science, and climate history, the narrative moves beyond textbook explanations to explore the profound question at the heart of Earth science: why did this planet become habitable when so many others did not?

Rich with scientific insight and sweeping in scope, this is a story of instability, transformation, and survival on a planetary scale. For anyone fascinated by deep time, Earth’s origins, or the fragile conditions that sustain life, this book offers a compelling new perspective on the dynamic world beneath our feet—and the extraordinary chain of events that made our existence possible. Written for readers interested in Earth history, planetary formation, catastrophic geology, climate change through deep time, and the origins of life, 23.5° Diary of a Catastrophic Flood presents complex scientific ideas in an accessible, story-driven form.

This book will appeal to readers of popular science, geology and astronomy books, and those fascinated by Earth’s ancient past, global floods, and the fragile balance that makes life possible on our planet.
