THE VELIKOVSKY HERESIES by Laird Scranton Bear & Company, VT, USA, 2012 ISBN 978-1-59143-139-8 (I52pp tpb) Avail: BearandCompanyBooks.com RRS & S/VELIKOVSKY ~ FAERESIES Sor after we go to press with this edition, Venus will complete her second pairing of a rare transit across the face of the Sun on 5-6 June, the first having occurred eight years ago. So, what better time than now to reconsider the controversy that's been brewing since 1950 with the publication of Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision. In his book, he described a cosmic catastrophe and suggested that Venus was originally a comet which did not exist in its present position until around 1600 BCE. Indeed, Velikovsky determined that there are no records of Venus in ancient texts before that time. ndependent cosmologist, software designer and author Laird Scranton (see reviews in 18/05, 15/02, 11/01) set out to re-examine Velikovsky's theories in light of recent decades of astronomical and archaeologica studies, and his findings point in favour of their validity. Scranton also highlights that Velikovsky had detractors many years before any determination could be made about the composition of Venus, as if the idea that a cometary body could be ejected from a gaseous planet like Jupiter was heretical—and yet Venus still displays many features of being a young planet, if not a former comet.
