As some of you will know, a book by Michael Gordin, entitled The Pseudoscience Wars: Immanuel Velikovsky and the Birth of the Modern Fringe, has been published recently. It's not yet had any reviews on the Amazon.co.uk web-site, but there has been much discussion about it on the American Amazon.com site, including some acrimonious exchanges between two former senior members of the Kronos editorial team, Lewis Greenberg and Leroy Ellenberger. Also, Ev Cochrane has reviewed the book on Alfred de Grazia's Quantavolution web-site. I've yet to see the book, but am hoping to get hold of a copy soon, to be able to judge the contents for myself. Have any of you managed to read it yet and, if so, what do you think about it?
