They had a 15-minute interview with the author on NPR today.

They asked him, "who was Nostradamus". He said "Ten years ago I would have told you he was a doctor, an astrologer, and a seer. Now, I'd say he was none of those things."

A lot of the stuff he talked about confirmed the information in Randi's "Masks of Nostradamus."

Probably worth a look.

I'm glad you posted this. I caught the last couple minutes of NPR and I thought it had been a favorable review of a book that SUPPORTED Nostradamus. Glad to hear otherwise!
