Title: More Than Meets the Eye
Review: This is a difficult book; partly because it was written at the request of the publisher as a "popular" exposition and partly because Plictha is somewhat full of himself. The 3 Volume set, Das Primzahl Kreuz is easier to understand but is only available in German (amazon.de). He is a highly competent chemist and his observations about the two "missing" elements must be understood before much of his work can be understood. Much of what he puts together in number theory is well known in pieces, but his conclusions are fascinating. I would not recommend the book for someone without a fair grounding in chemistry and number theory, unless it's for casual reading. I would give the 3 volume set 5 stars just for it's attempt to explain the patterns of nature in a comprehensive and interesting way. Whether or not Plichta is correct in all or some of his cosmography is for the reader to decide.
