 Crackpot Alert!!! November 30, 2008

Ok let's be honest, I have not read every word of this book. A friend had a copy in their house and since I am interested in Physics and Biology I picked it up and had a flick through it. On the random page I opened at there was such a glaring error in what was being presented as scientific fact that it surely calls into question the author's competence and/or honesty. I read on and found more and more instances of established scientific fact being misrepresented or twisted to suit the argument being presented. A great example would be the author's continual insistence on incorrectly equating the clearly defined concept of energy as used in Physics with the imprecise and unquantifiable property of "energy" as promoted by so-called alternative practitioners. Likewise, he claims that for the past 75 years quantum theory has shown conclusively that the universe is made of energy not matter - this is completely false as any A-level physics student could tell you.
The dust jacket would have you believe that the author is a prolific and influential scientist of great renown. He isn't. He is so irrelevant that he doesn't even have his own Wikipedia entry. The only noteworthy quality I feel this author has is the ability to squeeze the most factual errors into the fewest words of any writer I have ever come across. To call his scientific inaccuracies schoolboy errors would be to insult schoolboys.
If you are really interested in an introduction to current thinking in quantum theory try "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene. Likewise for biology, anything by Steve Jones would be a good starting point.
Utter nonsense.

Nicely written, easy to read hardback. Concentrates on giving the non-scientist some background on cell biology and what the important parts do. Couple of nice visuals to explain the theory. Liked the explanation of why the quantity of DNA variations does not necessarily equate to greater intelligence - did not fully appreciate the author's epiphany and could not work out how cell walls equal the existence of god and reincarnation - unless he meant that we are god and reincarnation could mean being part of a plant after we've moved on. Spirtuality aside, I'd love some serious research into the whole passing on of the cellular memory (there was a programme about some Scandinavian records showing that people in famine situations had children who developed diabetes in later life over a 100-200 year period or similar which could be related). Incidentally I've tried the suggestion of getting a biologist to learn a bit about quantum physics but he was not at all keen (think it was the maths that put him off). Any how, 3* only because it got a little confusing when god walked in.

I loved this book, and certainly think every parent and teacher should read it to understand the effect their words have on future generations. Inspiring and thought provoking I would recommend this to anyone who wants to understand why and how we 'tick'
Not as informative or exciting as promised June 9, 2008

From other reviews I would have expected more substance to this book. It is mostly very superficial, particularly in the scientific detail and yet radical conclusions about the nature of living organisms are being made by the author. It did, however, inspire me to read more about the issues raised.

What a challenging read. It leaves me with more unanswered questions, so I'm off to by Robin Williams' Psych-K!
