Quit Smoking Right Now

My advice to any reader: Always examine the worth of the publisher before you even bother looking at the content of the book. If it's self-published or the publisher is unknown, then you should start to worry. You should try to find a way to verify the scholarly authority of the author (if any), if you're not an expert on the subject matter of the book. If you have no way of knowing who he or his publisher is, then here's a good tip: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

The two books I've read are pretty much the same. The author spends more time complaining about "Newtonian Conspiracy" than anything else. As I don't understand his math I was hoping for some enlightenment and am sadly disappointed. As far as I can tell Newton's theories pertaining to relativity have been superseded. Wish he would have told us about what is going on today rather than about the theories formulated 300 years ago. In summary, don't waste your time with these books. Instead check out what Stephen Hawking thinks.

I just downloaded this book i came across a while ago.I have read some lines of it , the first book at least , but it is very badly written and badly designed .The claims of the author against science and the scientific community are too fantastic (fantasy ) to be true indeed.But , fact is : materialism as an ideology has been hijacking science for many centuries now by imposing its worldview and paradigm , its prescriptive speculative interpretative views to science as scientific facts : like the "fact " that life is no more than material processes........to mention just that .There is some sort of core truth in this book , i presume .The author had just overdone it in a clumsy way, i guess : i am basing this on the review of the book , on the lines i read of the book , on my own experience and especially on the experiences of some scientists whistleblowers ....I am not gonna vote whether i like or do not like this book ,because , it's not a novel to be liked or disliked .It's not art to be liked or disliked ...It's about a certain view of science and scientists one might or might not agree with , or with some parts of it at least .Scientists are just humans , there are certainly many deceptive scientists lunatics among them .We just must try to stop making scientists or science "holy " We must stop acting as if science has the monopoly of the truth , as if science is the only source of knowledge ....excluding all non-materialistic paradigms in the process. .Science is just a form of culture , a social activity ...practiced by scientists humans ..Science is just a means to an end , not an end in itself .Science is no Alaaddin magic lamp .Science is no independent entity , but just a human tool which functions within its cultures and environment.Objectivity does not exist , not even at the level of exact sciences, let alone elsewhere.So, stop glorifying science too much, as if it was some sort of infaillible magical diety .Science has been in the process of being turned into a kindda extremist religion , unfortunately enough , that's why you've probably never heard of all those brave scientists whistleblowers who have been condemning just that while risking their own careers ,status ...for that . thanks to the materialistic inquisition in the materialistic church of science I can provide you with a long list of those whistleblowers. .And, please , do stop talking about science and the scientific method in those despicable paternalistic Eurocentric terms , because science owes its very existence to Arabs in the first place to begin with : see Robert Briffault 's " The making of humanity " book on the matter .The official west still denies this and other historic facts and still attributes the invention of the scientific method to Robert or Francis Bacon.History of science must be rewritten in that regard at least .Welcome back to earth , to the real world behind the veil of its romantic mask .P.S,: I do love science by the way .I just despise those who hijack it or those who say or do evil or deceptive things in its name : extermists like Richard Dawkins......to mention just that lunatic .

Good issue to address but highly rude and badly writen.
