The Age of Velikovsky is the first book to explain the main points of Velikovskyâs ideas for the lay reader as well as to address the controversies and criticisms they have provoked in the scientific establishment. With Velikovskyâs cooperation, C.J. Ransom provides a detailed analysis of his theory of the formation of the solar system and Earthâs near-collision with Venus, which Velikovsky posits as the source of diverse ancient reports of âsupernatural events,â disasters, and paranormal phenomenaâfrom the Seven Plagues of Egypt to the mysterious origin of Stonehenge. Ransom also traces Velikovskyâs correlation of Egyptian and Hebrew chronologies of historyâa rearrangement that has shed new light on events related in the Old Testament, among other ancient texts. Complete with a short biography of Velikovsky, the publication history of his books (a fascinating story in itself), and detailed appendices, The age of Velikovsky is an invaluable key to the work of the man who turned our traditional notions of history and astronomy on their heads.ââBack cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a The review â The events â The historical construction â The common questions â The planets and moon â Dating methods and misapplications â The Earth â The modern affair â Historical supplement â Appendix â Notes â Index. 563 $3 XCOL copy #1: $a Publisher's illustrated paper binding. $5 IaU 541 1 $3 XCOL copy #1: $c Gift; $a Lyell D.
