Much later, in a letter to Pensee, Francis went further: after checking Velikovsky's sources and finding his evidence satisfactory, he came to the conclusion, like Velikovsky, that " ...

With difficulty. What is now a series of ten books began in the mid-i 960's when Alfred de Grazia became familiar with both Immanuel Velikovsky and his imaginative synthesis. of planetary collisions occurring within historical times.

3. Answers To Further Critics [Journals] [Kronos]
... of events from the early 1960's to the early 1980's. Many of these events lie entirely outside my own experience and are difficult for me to corroborate. Other claims in the book are about events that I am more familiar with, even though I was not always directly involved with them. In such cases, while some of what de Grazia says is more or less correct, it seems to me that there is far too much of what he says that is incorrect: his remarks are often either false or severely distorted, and the book as a whole is simply not a reliable source of historical information. Indeed, it is one of those situations in which we must ...

SIS SPRING MEETING, 9th April 1983 Homo Schizo- the Catastrophic Evolution of Man Prof. Alfred de Grazia Introduction by Brian Moore: Dr de Grazia is extremely veil known to all of you as a very prolific writer and a highly original thinker in the field of catastrophism, particularly with his new book Chaos and Creation which has recently been published and which is downstairs now on our bookstand. He is a sometime professor of political science at New York University, founder-editor of the American Behavioral Scientist, one issue of which was the basis of The Velikovsky Affair. He is currently working on an immense series of books, it seems to me, on Catastrophism or Quantavolution, ...

... published 25 years before Worlds in Collision [6 ] appeared in print. In fact, Beaumont had written no less than three lengthy books on colliding planets, cometary catastrophes (which he associated with the Exodus catastrophes) and revised chronologies - all of them published before Velikovsky entered the cosmic arena [7 ,8 ,9 ]. De Grazia [10] lists Beaumont's main ideas as follows: 1. The geology of the world's surface is largely catastrophic. 2. The catastrophe was caused by a cometary collision. 3. All geological formations were shifted as a result. 4. Cosmic lightning played a major role. 5. Hydrocarbons were present in cometary tails. 6 ...

... the late 1960's, after his first four major books had been published and much subsequent evidence had accrued in his favor, but when he was still essentially fighting his battles alone. It has been extensively chronicled in four principal publications. The first is The Velikovsky Affair: Scientism Versus Science, (1966), by political scientist Alfred de Grazia, historian of science Livio Stecchini and engineer Ralph E. Juergens, the book which first brought the ugly story to widespread, public attention. It gives a glaring and irrefutable account of the hostility, blackmail, character assassination, misrepresentation, disinformation and repression evinced by science towards Velikovsky. Then comes Stargazers and Gravediggers: Memoirs to " ...

... )) of the beholder. Its credibility is invariably determined by the inevitable distortions of memory and personal perception as well as the quality of documentation and the corroboration of others. In the last two issues of AEON (II:6 and III:l ), its readership has been questionably enlightened by the excerpted self-focused soliloquy of Alfred de Grazia (" Cosmic Heretics") and the self-hating vitriol of Leroy Ellenberger (" A Velikovsky Potpourri"). Ordinarily, I would refrain from commenting on such material and let the reading public draw its own conclusions. But, the various negative comments made about me in those two potboilers requires an appropriate response in order to set the ...

... ) forsakes serious criticism in favor of a self-serving advocacy of catastrophism unconstrained by evidence; and he is so caught up in the excitement of speculation that he confuses temperature with latent heat (p . 212)* and talks about the Piri Reis map as though it were the Oronteus Finaeous map (p . 216). [* De Grazia has obviously borrowed heavily and uncritically from Tyndall's Heat Considered as a Mode of Motion (New York, 1869). Compare Tyndall: "[ T ]he latent heat of aqueous vapour, at the temperature of its production in the tropics, is about 1,000 deg Fahr. . . . A pound of water then vaporised ...

Milton Home | Issue Contents TECHNICAL NOTE E Solaria Binaria in Relation to Chaos and Creation In 1981, one of us (Alfred de Grazia) published Chaos and Creation, which presented the model of Solaria Binaria as part of a general theory of quantavolution. During the last years of its writing, he discussed first with Ralph Juergens and then with Earl Milton the idea of a book on the subject, that would establish it upon firmer foundations and raise it to a new conceptual plane. Juergens' direct participation had hardly begun when he died; but his encouragement and his writings were inspiring to both of ...

The old central library had been in the basements of the Main Building. It was rumored that one could draw a book from there, and he did so from time to time. But now they had obstructed the view of Washington Square from his apartment to put up a casbah-red structure that from the outside seemed transported from the Near East while inside there was a giant space towering to ...

... see the problem as insoluble but simply as one concerning a scheme with which he did not entirely agree. This was not to be wondered at because, as I was soon to find out, he, also, had been working on a model of his own. This was based on a scenario which his colleague, Professor Alfred de Grazia, was, somewhat like myself, trying to wed to the Velikovskian one. Later correspondence with de Grazia himself was to indicate-(and this became more obvious when his quantavolution series was finally published) -that he had not investigated Velikovsky's work in any depth and he ended up by repeating many of the erroneous assertions and mythological ...

ABS editor Alfred de Grazia wrote to the editor of the Bulletin, threatening to take legal action if he did not repudiate "the many distortions in Margolis's article".(8 ) Eric Larabee was promised space in the Bulletin for a reply and then denied it. Velikovsky was invited to submit a rebuttal, but he "would not consent to enter into ...

Like Moon and Mercury, like Earth itself, they shriek of more recent disasters. The major question now is " How recent is recent'?" We address the question to their peculiarities of motion, position, composition, and behavior. Myth and legend (in its deliberate attempts at science) afford voluminous material about both planets, their transactions with each other, and their encounters with Moon and Earth. Research of the past generation has ...
