VON DÄNIKENITIS: A TONIC FOR SUFFERERS

This document, authored by Janet and Colin Bord, provides a critical review of Ronald Story's book, The Space Gods Revealed, published in 1977 by New English Libraries. The review serves as a rebuttal to the Ancient Astronaut theories popularized by Erich von Däniken in his book, Chariots of the Gods?. The authors commend Story for his methodical dismantling of von Däniken's claims, noting that Story uses evidence and expert testimony to challenge the validity of von Däniken's assertions regarding ancient artifacts and archaeological sites. The review highlights that Story's work is supported by a foreword from Carl Sagan and includes an index and source notes, which the authors argue provide a necessary corrective to the misinformation they associate with von Däniken's writings. The document also notes that while Story addresses the UFO phenomenon, he remains skeptical of the 'cultist' aspects often associated with it. Following the review, the document presents a list of 'UFO and Space Age Publications,' detailing various books on UFOs, Fortean phenomena, and related subjects, including works by authors such as John Michell, Hans Holzer, and Brinsley le Poer Trench, along with their respective prices.
