Velikovsky One - Homework

Books I have read on the Velikovsky controversy:

• Worlds in Collision by Emmanuel Velikovsky
• Scientists Confront Velikovsky edited by Donald Goldsmith
• The Velikovsky Affair by Alfred DeGrazia
• Velikovsky Reconsidered by the editors of Pensee magazine
• Beyond Velikovsky by Henry Bauer
• Carl Sagan and Immanuel Velikovsky by Charles Ginenthal

Web encyclopedia entries on Velikovsky:

• Knowledge Computing
• Wikipedia

Books I have read not only on the Velikovsky affair, but the larger issues involved, including those raised in James Hogan's Kicking the Sacred Cow and Tom Bethell's The Politically Incorrect Guide to Science:

• Scientific Literacy and The Myth of the Scientific Method by Henry Bauer
• The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn
• Against Method by Paul Feyerabend
• Logic of Scientific Discovery by Karl Popper
• A Skeptical look at Karl Popper article by Scientific American's Martin Gardner

Henry Bauer is here twice for a good reason - Beyond Velikovsky is an application of the approach he advocates taking to the study of science as a process, so you can see, as I did, both the theory and practice. I also approve of his approach of applying reason, common sense and good research to every step of the processes in science, including education, choices of research, career tracks, and the process of filtering out or accepting ideas and paradigms.
