Reviews

DeRosa has captured the essence of my research in a well crafted prose that will make it accessible to a wide readership.
*Robert Schoch, author of Voices of the Rocks: Catastrophes and Ancient Civilizations (Crown Publishing Group, 1999)*

I am impressed at how much of the substance of a very complex subject has been abstracted into simple language understandable to the non-specialist.
*Carver Mead, author ofCollective Electrodynamics (MIT Press, 2002)*

Well done and easy to read. Advocating unpopular theories will always be a difficult task.
*Peter Duesberg, author of Inventing the AIDS Virus (Regnery Publishing, Inc., 1997)*

Although I disagree with a number of points, there are no factual errors.
*Michael Behe, author of Darwin's Black Box (Simon & Schuster, 1998)*

In the next 10-20 years, breakthroughs are most likely to come from the pool of the 'Principals' whose ideas are discussed here.
*Tom Van Flandern, Author of Dark Matter, Missing Planets and New Comets (North Atlantic Books, 1998)*

It is valuable to discuss and comment on minority views in science. Well explained and well written.
*Halton Arp, author of Seeing Red: Redshifts, Cosmology and Academic Science (Apeiron, 1998)*

An FDA advisory panel recently came around to seeing what I've been saying for years.
