Copyright statements aside, odds are good that Chaosium had nothing to do with it. You see, Chaosium had to be involved for the Gloranthan products, but not for the non-Gloranthan products. And so in 1990 AH was feeling their oats when they put out this and Eldarad--testing the grounds for a post-Chaosium future, as it were (because Chaosium had by then decided that working with AH wasn't really in their interest).
It didn't work out, and instead AH went with a high-quality Gloranthan editor, which resulted in a series of *good* AH supplements beginning with Sun Country.
