FURTHER READING

 

The scientific ideas in this book are based largely on the work of Immanuel Velikovsky (1895-1979). Many readers of the hardback have asked where they might learn more on this background, or catastrophist views in general. The following sources would provide some good starting material.

 

(1) Immanuel Velikovsky's three major works:

 

Worlds in Collision, 1950

The book that started the whole controversy, identifying the comet of the Exodus as Venus, originating from Jupiter.

 

Ages in Chaos, 1952

Reexamining ancient history in the light of catastrophic events.

 

Earth in Upheaval, 1955

The evidence written into the Earth's geological and biological records.

All available from Buccaneer Books, POB 168, Cutchogue, NY 11935

 

 

(2) Carl Sagan and Immanuel Velikovsky, by Charles Ginenthal, 1995

Over 400 pages presenting findings from space missions and other sources that are consistent with Velikovsky's claims, while contradicting the experts who vilified him. Available from:
