For 10 points, identify this work that claims the earth has been part of a cosmic war with other planets and comets, a pseudoscientific work of Immanuel Velikovsky.
One section of this work describes the birth of a dragon from a pillar of material that blazes by night and ejects dust by day before that dragon descends underground and dries up much of the world's water. In another section, the author cites Jonathan Swift's premature discovery of the moons of Mars as evidence of secret knowledge stemming from Homer's conception of two "steeds of Ares." At one point, the author claims that he is following up the work of Ignatius Donnelly, and its creation was discussed in the author's Stargazers and Gravediggers and followed up in his Ages in Chaos. This work's claims were rejected in Carl Sagan's Broca's Brain, because of the high value of the escape velocity of Jupiter.
