A disputed account of planetary and human history

Immanuel Velikovsky’s book presents an account of Earth’s past built around catastrophism and reports attributed to ancient observers. It connects proposed events in the history of the solar system with changes to Earth and human history, drawing on traditions, religions, and mythology. The argument challenges geological uniformity and Darwin’s theory of evolution, so the book is best approached as Velikovsky’s interpretation of these subjects, not as a neutral overview of scientific consensus.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in historical debates about catastrophism and Earth sciences.
  • Readers exploring how mythology, religious traditions, and accounts of the past can inform interpretations of natural history.

Book overview

With this book Immanuel Velikovsky first presented the revolutionary results of his 10-year-long interdisciplinary research to the public, founded modern catastrophism - based on eyewitness reports by our ancestors - shook the doctrine of uniformity of geology as well as Darwin's theory of evolution, put our view of the history of our solar system, of the Earth and of humanity on a completely new basis - and caused an uproar that is still going on today. Worlds in Collision - written in a brilliant, easily understandable and entertaining style and full to the brim with precise information - can be considered one of the most important and most challenging books in the history of science. Not without reason was this book found open on Einstein's desk after his death. For all those who have ever wondered about the evolution of the earth, the history of mankind, traditions, religions, mythology or just the world as it is today, Worlds in Collision is an absolute MUST-READ!
