''Kronos: A Journal of Interdisciplinary Synthesis'' published articles on a wide range of subjects as diverse as ancient history, catastrophism and mythology. It ran 44 issues from the Spring of 1975 to the Spring of 1988. The title is an homage to the Greek name for the Roman god Saturn whose planetary namesake Velikovsky believed Earth once orbited as a satellite. The Journal was not only influenced by the work of Immanuel Velikovsky,〔''Kronos: A Journal of Interdisciplinary Synthesis''. Vol.1 No. 1 (Spring 1975) "Editorial Statement". ISSN: 0361-6584〕 it was "founded, with no apologies, to deal with Velikovsky's work";〔Greenberg, Lewis M. (1993). Of Ponderosas and Heinekens. ''Aeon'', 3 (2), 82.〕 but as noted by then Professor of Social Theory Alfred de Grazia at New York University, and co-author of ''The Velikovsky Affair'', "This is not to say that the directors of Kronos were uncritical".〔Alfred de Grazia, Cosmic Heretics, "Ch. 5. (The British Connection )", October 1984, Metron Publ. 397pp. ISBN 978-0-940268-08-1.〕 The journal was published by Kronos Press, a division of Cosmos and Chronos (a US-registered 501(c) organization). Its subscription list grew to about 2000〔Waldron, Ann (1980). "Velikovsky Lives!" ''Science Digest Special'', Sept/Oct, p. 94.〕 and then settled to about 1500 people from 10 countries.〔Henry H. Bauer, ''(Beyond Velikovsky: The History of a Public Controversy )'', (1984) University of Illinois Press, ISBN 978-0-252-06845-4. This book is described as "A very valuable contribution to the literature on a major controversy" by NASA Institute director Robert Jastrow, and, "Bauer's remarkable book will be viewed, even by Velikovskians, as a great improvement over previous critical studies" by (Prof) Marcello Truzzi〕 Actually, in 1980 the United States and Canada accounted for 93% of circulation with the balance in 20 foreign countries.〔Subscriber List in archives of C. Leroy Ellenberger. These statistics were not available to Bauer who restricted his research to public information.〕 ==Books== Two issues of ''Kronos'' were also published as books: *''Velikovsky and Establishment Science'' (''Kronos'' Vol. III, No. 2 Winter 1977), ISBN 978-0-917994-03-6. *''Scientists Confront Scientists Who Confront Velikovsky'' (''Kronos'' Vol. IV, No. 2 Winter 1978), ISBN 978-0-917994-06-7. Both issues concern the criticism of Velikovsky by scientists at the 1974 AAAS meeting in San Francisco (Mon Feb 25, 1974) in a session "Velikovsky's Challenge to Science",〔American Association for the Advancement of Science, 140th Annual Meeting, Feb 24 - Mar 1, 1974, p.23〕 whose papers were subsequently published in the book ''Scientists Confront Velikovsky'' (1977)〔Donald Goldsmith (ed), ''Scientists Confront Velikovsky'', Cornell University Press (1977), ISBN 978-0-8014-0961-5.〕 (with exception of the papers from Velikovsky himself and Irving Michelson, and additional papers by the editor, Goldsmith, Isaac Asimov and David Morrison). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kronos: A Journal of Interdisciplinary Synthesis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
