In general, Velikovsky's theories have been ignored or vigorously rejected by the academic community.[8] Nonetheless, his books often sold well and gained enthusiastic support in lay circles, often fuelled by claims of unfair treatment of Velikovsky by orthodox academia.[9][10][11][12] The controversy surrounding his work and its reception is often referred to as "the Velikovsky affair".[13][14][15]
