In this book, Immanuel Velikovsky, in his unmistakably clear and
unique style, relates both the writing of and the reaction to the
publication of his epochal work Worlds in Collision. Through
authentic letters, we experience at first hand the beginning and
unfolding of the Velikovsky Affair - from the boycotting of his
publisher by leading American scientists and universities to the
emotional and highly unscientific campaign to discredit the author
and his work. We also get to read Velikovsky's rebuttals to the
attacks and accusations, which were mostly denied publication by
relevant journals and magazines. Especially today, with the power
and societal influence of science at an all-time high, this book is
of fundamental importance for our understanding of science and its
practioners.
