Synopsis

With this book Immanuel Velikovsky first presented the revolutionary results of his ten-year-long interdisciplinary research to the public, founded modern catastrophism—based on eyewitness reports by our ancestors—shook the doctrine of uniformity of geology as well as Darwin's theory of evolution, put our view of the history of our solar system, of the Earth and of humanity on a completely new basis—and caused an uproar that is still going on today.

Worlds in Collision—written in a brilliant, easily understandable, and entertaining style and full to the brim with precise information—can be considered one of the most important and most challenging books in the history of science. Not without reason was this book found open on Einstein's desk after his death. For all those who have ever wondered about the evolution of the earth, the history of mankind, traditions, religions, mythology or just the world as it is today, Worlds in Collision is an absolute must-listen!

I was torn between 3 and 4 stars over this book. There is little chance that the scientific claims in this book will find anymore favor in the future than in the past...but it's a good read. You may think it's tripe or you may say wow there could be something to this (though the scientific community......more
