What if, rather than the world we know, Planet Earth was tilted on its side? What if the continent of Antarctica was not located over the South Pole but sat between Africa and South America? How different would the world have been if Greenland was located as far South as France? How would the history of the Crimea have differed if it had been an island. How would human society have developed without horses or metal? ‘Other Earths: Alternate Outcomes of Geological Developments & Prehistoric Times’, the latest ‘what if?’ history book from Alexander Rooksmoor, considers these and other scenarios for our planet. This book will appeal to anyone who has wondered how different our planet could have been and how it have altered how the world’s climate and environment, let alone human history.

NOTE: 'Other Earths' DOES NOT contain stories. It has chapters analysing different potential outcomes in history. It is closest in style to the ‘what if?’ collections edited by Peter Tsouras, Robert Crowley, Duncan Brack, Niall Ferguson and Andrew Roberts. It is suggested that you check them out if you are uncertain whether this one is the sort of book you are looking for.

The book is written by Alexander Rooksmoor, author of a series of 'what if?' books and analysis, Drawing from twenty years of researching and teaching history, he provides a book which is about stimulating debate on what might have been rather than providing in-depth details of the true history.
