Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. . Robert Forrest is the author of the six-volume series of books, Velikovsky s Sources (1981), privately published by the author, and also published as a single abridged book, A Guide to Velikovsky s Sources. He attended Brasenose College, Oxford, and teaches mathematics at a college of further education, near Manchester, UK. . He noted "If people disagree with my findings and chose to continue to believe in Velikovsky, then my attitude was, "Fine that s your choice, but to my mind you are sailing in the face of plain common sense, and you are in the same boat as people who continue to believe that Bacon wrote Shakespeare, despite all reasonable refutation." In brief, I have continued to hold the view that Worlds in Collision is a crank book." . Immanuel Velikovsky was a Russian-American psychoanalyst, writer, and catastrophist. He was the author of several books offering pseudohistorical interpretations of ancient history, including the U.S. bestseller Worlds in Collision (1950)]. Velikovsky's work is frequently cited as a canonical example of pseudoscience and has been cited as an example of the demarcation problem. . His books use comparative mythology and ancient literary sources (including the Old Testament) to argue that Earth suffered catastrophic close contacts with other planets (principally Venus and Mars) in ancient history.
