About

LikeJames Cagney, I'm a real Yankee Doodle Dandy, born in Kingsport,Tennessee on the Fourth of July. Every year since, I've enjoyed thefireworks displays all over the United States that take place on mybirthday. As the picture shows, my major pursuit in life, other thanadding letters after my name, including B.S., M.S. and Ph.D., seemsto be the ongoing quest for the always elusive "just-right"classic car which currently is the restoration of a 1966 JaguarE-Type coupe, but in the past has ranged from a 1941 Cadillac to a1961 Ferrari. Over the years, I've worked at a great variety of jobsranging from bus boy to university professor at Emory University'sOxford College, Southern Arkansas University and James MadisonUniversity. I've also worked as a motel clerk, exploration geologist,photographer, door-to-door salesman, newspaper columnist, landsurveyor, civil engineer, truck driver and meteorologist. Mywritings, including science articles, adventure articles, cararticles and short fiction, have appeared in such varied formats asprofessional science journals, newspapers, literary journals andhistory journals. I've completed two other novels, Last Lion ofSparta and BloodScourge, both to be availablelater this year. Certainly my greatest accomplishment,however, was marrying Elizabeth Hill in 1971. We live in the SouthCarolina foothills of the southern Appalachian Mountains have threesons, Gene D. III, an attorney in the Washington DC area, John Peter,Director of Marketing at a chain of retirements homes in Virginia andWilliam B., an information technology specialist on active duty inthe U.S. Navy.

Description

In 1066, the rivalry between two brothers brought England to its knees. When Duke William of Normandy landed at Pevensey on September 28, 1066, no one was there to resist him. King Harold Godwineson was in the north, fighting his brother Tostig and a fierce Viking invasion. How could this have happened? Why would Tostig turn traitor to wreak revenge on his brother? The Sons of Godwine were not always enemies. It took a massive Northumbrian uprising to tear them apart, making Tostig an exile and Harold his sworn enemy. And when 1066 came to an end, all the Godwinesons were dead except one: Wulfnoth, hostage in Normandy. For two generations, Godwine and his sons were a mighty force, but their power faded away as the Anglo-Saxon era came to a close.

Reviews

Dr. Craig D. Idso, founder and chairman of the board of the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change, says the book "...is a refreshing read on a topic of great societal importance...because the authors evaluate key predictions and controversies of the global warming debate using logic and science." Prof Robert M. Carter, Marine Geophysical Laboratory, says "In an easily accessible style, Robinson leads us through the science information to answer the question, 'Are human carbon dioxide emissions causing dangerous global warming?' The more surprised you are that the answer is 'no,' then the more you need to read this excellent book." "Excellent, accessible handbook of global warming that shows the bulk of the science is on the side of skeptics."--Iain Murray, author of The Really Inconvenient Truths Excellent analysis of climate science from a veteran geologist's perspective. Dr. Robinson's discussions of climate models and past climate change are particularly useful. There is much more science, enough to persuade all but die-hard alarmists that a skeptical position better fits the evidence.--Paul MacRae, author of False Alarm--Global Warming
