I would also like to thank the librarians at the American Philosophical Society Library, the Manuscripts Room of the New York Public Library, and Harvard University Archives for making their collections available to me. I could never have written this book without them. The entire staff at the Manuscripts Reading Room also provided a wealth of help at all stages of this project, as did the Article Express and Interlibrary Loan office, who once again managed to acquire for me publications that seemed to have sunk without a trace. At the Princeton University Library, I would like to thank Ben Primer and especially Don Skemer for taking the time to discuss with me how they came to acquire the Immanuel Velikovsky Papers. This book began in the archives, and my greatest debts are to those who made the research possible. attributed to s au l l i e be r m a nĪcknowledgments ix Introduction: Bad Ideas 1 1 The Grand Collision of Spring 1950 19 2 A Monolithic Oneness 49 3 The Battle over Lysenkoism 79 4 Experiments in Rehabilitation 106 5 Skirmishes on the Edge of Creation 135 6 Strangest Bedfellows 163 Conclusion: Pseudoscience in Our Time 195 Abbreviations and Archives 213 Notes 215 Index 281 sigmu n d fr eu d, Moses and Monotheism Nonsense is nonsense, but the history of nonsense is a very important science.
