5.0 out of 5 stars
History Lesson,
This review is from: Earth in Upheaval (Laurel edition) (Paperback)
I have read Earth in Upheaval, Worlds in Collison, and Velikovsky Revisited, and find them all very fascinating. It points out how little we really know about our planet's history, and human history. I would recommend these books to anyone who is looking for a scientific explanation to explain several items that have been questionable, such as: why fossils of plants and animals have been found in areas where they have never been seen in modern times, why Venus rotates counterclockwise to the other planets and has a high percent of hydrocarbons in it's atmosphere, the magnetic north on the moon is different than Earth's, etc. The Earth's axis has shifted during a cataclysmal event a long time ago when Venus and Earth came into sloe proximity during orbit. The resulting catastrophy caused dramatic elimate changes, floods, etc. that caused radical changes on the planet. His books were originally banned in the United States because of religious censorship. Today, they explain questions that were once unexplainable.

Proof of our planet's violent past,

This review is from: Earth in Upheaval (Laurel edition) (Paperback)
I have studied Velikovsky's work for nearly 40 years, particularly his historical reconstruction. But his cosmic thesis, whether right or wrong, was also compelling, and it is atrocious to hear the slander in some of these reviews of his books heaped on them by people who simply assume he was wrong without saying why, or assume that conventional science was correct without even questioning.
No scholar since Einstein shook the shoulders of our minds as Velikovsky did, and in a greater number of academic fields than Einstein did. Worlds in Collision, his massive best-seller, was based on the writings, myths and legends of ancient peoples, but Earth in Upheaval was strictly a collection of geological and paleontological evidence without a shred of literary or mythological information. What's more, I followed up on much of his research, and it's all true. It points to a violent past within historical times. Of all the books by Velikovsky which bigoted scholars have "refuted," many without even reading them, this is the most unassailable of them all. It is hard fact, electrifying reading and compelling evidence that massive celestial and terrestrial cataclysms once shook the foundations of our planet.
