Summary: Not the most impressed
Rating: 2
This book needs to be more rigorous to become a scientific book. It lacks depth, and the author makes some ambiguous statements in the book. Sometimes, premature claims are also made on subjects that are currently under investigation and subjected to debate. This can be seriously misleading in certain cases. In addition, the author could have done a better job referencing.
