  • The Prophecies of Nostradamus

    Ryan Nagelhout

    Paperback (Gareth Stevens Publishing, Jan. 1, 2015)
    The prophecies of sixteenth-century French astrologer Nostradamus still resonate in our world. Many of his predictions have seemed to correlate with major world events. There are more predictions that may yet come to pass. However, there's much controversy surrounding Nostradamus's complicated writings. His use of anagrams and multiple languages make some doubt whether today's translations are even accurate. Believers and nonbelievers both will be fascinated at this look at the mysterious man's life in plague-infested France as well as his most famous predictions. Readers will be able to decide for themselves whether they believe in the mystical powers of Nostradamus.
