Another good reference is Carl Sagan's book _Broca's Brain_, where he
devotes a whole chapter (plus an appendix discussing collision physics,
the time-scale which is IMHO the crux of Velikovsky's argument).

_Broca's Brain_ also devotes much (besides Velikovsky issues) to what I
would consider obvious nonsense.  The trouble is, most people don't think
it's obvious nonsense. :(
