I got about halfway through this book and couldn't keep going. I got the impression the author thinks her readers are all living under a rock and are too stupid to understand anything that hasn't been written in overly simplistic language. She also doesn't care enough about her readers to be bothered to check the information she includes in her book. There were numerous errors including not knowing the correct atomic structure of deuterium and stating that Democritus developed the heliocentric model (that was Aristarchus, Democritus dealt with atomic theory). That left me wondering how much other information is wrong with the book. The author also does not include references so I have no idea where she is getting her information. I found the writing style to be rather tedious and somewhat repetitive, and didn't really learn anything new in the half of the book I read.
This might be an interesting book for a young teenager who doesn't know much about science in general.… (plus d'informations)
