Summary: Fascinating
Comment: Unlike many authors of alternative history works who jump to gaint conclusions without supporting evidence, Velikovsky make a valiant attempt to peice together the nature of catasphrofies which took place on this planet before the age of modern man. He raises very valid issues which scientists have been unable to explain satisfactorly - such as if the poles have always been where they are today why doesn't siberia, well inside the artic cycle have any effects of glaciation. Why did glaciation start from what is now the equator. Why are human artifacts found alongside animals scientist claim were extinct long before homo sapiens appeared and why do human bones and those of these extinct animals lay intermingled in huge mangled graveyards. This book will not please established science because it dares to offer an alternative view of the world. While he does jump to some conclusions, particularly in respect to 'evolution'' he does on the whole, provide an extremely thought provoking arguement. Until science can properly explain the serious questions raised by Velikovsky the contents of this book cannot be dismissed. Persons who are considering reading this book should first read Velikovsky's other book "Worlds in Collision" first.

Summary: One of Velikovsky's Best
Comment: Velikovsky undermines much conventional wisdom concerning the natural earth. He brings up many embarrassing inconsistencies of established theories and makes a compelling case for his own. He seems to be able to effectively tie together different scientific disciplines such as geology, astronomy, paleontology, and evolution. Even though this book is usually relegated to alternative science, I didn't find it so far-fetched as to be unbelievable. It is well researched, written in an academic style, and leads the reader systematically to a logical conclusion.

Summary: Exciting Read!
Comment: This was not only an exciting read but it was bold courageous and I am sure blaspheme to the died in the wool adherent to evolution. In his book Immanuel Velikovsky deals with something that has always struck me strange, coal, how did it form, sometimes in layers fifty foot think. The lignite that I find around the area of my home in the Pacific Northwest is chalk full of fossil. Some so perfect I can clearly count the striations in the leaf formation. I have never been able to accept the explaination for coal and how it comes about. I believe Velikovsky has explained it perfectly to my satisfaction.
Many call his science flawed, yet today evolution is being disproved by the study of the stars and the youngness of the universe.
Why if evolution is taking place have we seen nothing in times of written history, only extinction.
I am a woodsman and experienced hunter, I know the woods are full of game and yet in my many years of hunting I have only found one skull of a young bear.
This I have never been able to understand, when there is so much condenced discovery of fossils in certain areas. What caused this? In this book Immanuel Velikovsky explains well beyond normal reasoning why.
In reveiws of this book many have said that the book is not science, I believe that the preponderance of evidence is always science and that theory is without merit when science proves it wrong. As I said earlier to the adherent of evolution this book is blaspheme, the reason is because evolution, is a religion, it is and has to be accepted by faith. The evolutionist is the adherent of the religion and is offended when his or her belief system is attacked...
