Synopsis
A provocative extension of Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky's cataclysmic-formation-of-the-world theory. Subdue the Earth persuasively lends scientific credence to the "big bang" hypothesis as it advances the controversial thesis that Earth and its variety of animal species did not simply evolve as is popularly understood but rather were born of tremendous cataclysms, over a period not of millions of years but of only thousands. Particular emphasis is laid upon the fact that ice ages and their resulting effect on the rising and falling of the sea level-which many times has been three miles lower than at present-have been profoundly underestimated. Singularly timely is the author's dismissal of the "drifting continents" theory and his disclosures of how oil is formed, where it is likely or not likely to be found, and why. Ralph Franklin Walworth was born in 1921 and attended Shrivenham University in England and the University of Southern California.
