... the mutations in the Evening Primrose observed by Hugo de Vries in 1886 in the Gooilust park. The facts as presented at the time were correct but, by a series of lucky coincidences Mrs Kluitman has since been able to visit the spot again and learn more details. The water of the canal, which she quite reasonably assumed to be chemically and thermally contaminated by the laundries, was, apparently, considered pure and clean by the local populace, so she now regards her original conclusions to be somewhat unfounded. \cdrom\pubs\journals\workshop\vol0601\11myth.htm ...
422. Earth Magic: A Review by FRANCIS HITCHING [Journals] [Kronos]
... least one error in every book they review, I shall do my ceremonial tongue-clucking over Hitching's characterization (on p. 47) of Homo habilis, a Pleistocene hominid from East Africa, as the first of our ancestors to become bipedal and start communicating with his fellows. Here he is far off the paleontological mark, since even protistans communicate chemically with their congeners and presumably did so as early as the Archeozoic Era, 3 billion years ago; and two hominid genera ancestral to Homo, Ramapithecus and Australopithecus, were probably bipedal, Ramapithecus as much as 15 million years before Homo. Overall, however, I am impressed by Hitching's accuracy, sobriety, and good sense of intellectual ...
... Smith had carbon-dated petroleum from recent sediments in the Gulf of Mexico area. The assumptions of this dating method would probably not be valid during the conditions under which the petroleum may have been formed. Therefore, the absolute date is not significant although it was on the order of 9000 years. The important point is that carbon 14, the chemical isotope used in this method, decays to undetectable amounts in about fifty thousand years. Petroleum that has not acquired carbon 14 from the atmosphere in millions of years should not yield a carbon date By 1961 Oro had suggested that an important consequence of interactions between comets and the Earth"would be the accumulation on Earth of relatively large amounts ...

... undertook the writing of a book on catastrophic geological processes, in the course of which he came to the conclusion that hydrogen gas and hydrocarbons in large volumes must emanate from Earth's mantle. The book, Environment of Violence, was published in 1990. A sequel, Expanding Geospheres, followed in 1992. Frederic Jueneman is a consulting industrial analytical chemist, who has served as an Associate Editor of KRONOSand a member of the R&D 100 panel for the adjudication of the annual top one hundred products developed by academia and industry, continuing as a Contributing Editor and columnist for Research & Development magazine to which he has contributed for more than 25 years. He is a composer and ...

... History of Philosophy. He is also a major contributor to the book Velikovsky Reconsidered. George Robert Talbott (D .Sc., Indiana Northern Grad. School); Dr. Talbott is both an interdisciplinary scientist and author whose experiential background is about evenly divided between research and engineering applications. His scope and competence in mathematical physics and physical chemistry are evident from his two-volume Philosophy and Unified Science, published in 1977 by the international firm of Ganesh and Co. in Madras. Dr. David Lee Hilliker's introduction to this work lists some additional publications of Dr. Talbott, including a book in thermodynamics (Electronic Thermodynamics). Dr. Talbott also holds a basic patent, with ...

(Over 30 % of these people have degrees in physics. Other disciplines include astronomy, archaeology, chemistry, geophysics, history, philosophy, and psychiatry.) I would also like to thank the following organizations for their efforts in behalf of this work: The General Dynamics Management Association, Universal Map and Drafting Co., Electronic Monitors, Inc., The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, The Fort Worth Astronomical Society, ...

... products. Later, a study of premature destruction of asphalt roads disclosed that a certain bacilli was converting them to edible products, which led to erecting a factory for that purpose! NEW SCIENTIST for 25 Sept. 1969 describes a factory in Scotland for the production of edible products from hydrocarbons. Also, carbohydrates can be produced from hydrocarbons by chemical reaction. Evidently it behoves one to read Velikovsky and his sources to get the "straight scoop". William J. Douglas, Rockville, Maryland Receiving no reply, he wrote to the editor in August: Dear Sir, Why has NEW SCIENTIST not published the letters responding to John Gribbin's "Fools Rush In" (NEW SCIENTIST ...

... original type and adapt themselves to new environments.1 Darwins work provoked a storm of criticism and only slowly gained ground.2 (c ) One of the weaknesses of the theory of natural selection was a lack of sufficient knowledge of the principles of genetics. At the beginning of the century it was shown that heredity is normally transmitted by chemical cellular units (genes, chromosomes) which can be then reshuffled in the course of sexual reproduction and produce a change in the offspring: such a change creating a new species called an mutant'. Such changes were believed occur at random and by chance. It was Dutch botanist, Hugo de Vries (1848 – 1935) who ...

He is the author of various books and articles including the groundbreaking Die Sumerer gab es Nicht. Frederic Jueneman is a consulting industrial analytic chemist, who has served as an Associate Editor of KRONOS, and as a member of the R & D 100 panel for the adjudication of the annual top one hundred products developed by academia and industry, and continues as a contributing editor/columnist for Research and Development.
