Review title: Am I missing something?
Product review: I would think this book ironic, if I believed the author were capable of irony, but she clearly is not. Given that I have no scientific credentials, I cannot comment on the book's scientific credibility, but as a professor of English literature, I can say that the book is so poorly argued that it had no credibility for me. As well, it is written in an over the top style one associates with eager freshmen, not seasoned journalists. One hopes this author will return to straight forward reporting on science, and redirect her "poetic" impulses to late night scribblings in a personal journal.
