Macmillan is a science and education publisher. In that light, I can understand why the academic community would put pressure on them not to publish Velikovsky’s Worlds in Collision. While I would oppose such censorship across the board, I can understand why academics would be opposed to such a prestigious publishing house with longstanding ties to academia from publishing this charlatan's work. There are plenty of other publishing outlets for crackpot views.
