For centuries Nostradamus has been considered to be a divinely inspired prophet and astrologer whose prophecies have predicted Adolf Hitler, the 9-11 terrorist attacks, and even the world's end in 2012. Were his prophecies in fact the product of his divine inspiration, or was he just an ordinary man? This book by Lemesurier, author of The Nostradamus Encyclopedia, claims that Nostradamus was simply a bibliomancer who projected historical events into the future at random. The author's claim is backed here by a wealth of evidence; for example, of the over 6,000 prophecies made by Nostradamus only a handful have come true. Included with this book is a CD of facsimiles of Nostradamus's prophecies. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
