FERMI'S PARADOX Cosmology and Life Paperback – 24 Oct. 2014

I enjoyed the read but there were quite a few spelling mistakes and some grammatical errors (double checked this review to avoid the same).

This book is very disappointing in that it does not address Fermi’s Paradox at all. It is just a mish-mash of old ideas but the really annoying thing are the mistakes. Spelling mistakes, grammatical mistakes but worst of all the mathematical presentations and inconsistencies in the various equations in the book. I can only assume that something went wrong when the soft copy became the printed version and mangled accepted symbolic usage into a meaningless jumble. For example I’ve never seen the Greek letter ‘lambda’ appear as a capital with two dots above it before. There are plenty of other much better books on this subject available..

Before reading this book I had read a brief article on Fermi's Paradox and found myself suddenly very interested in this subject. However, when I started reading this book it took me an increasing effort to finish it as at no moment Fermi's Paradox is discussed as to what possible solutions are available. The author goes round in circles talking about related scientific topics but never approaches the subject the book is supposed to deal with. This book is certainly NOT worth it's title. If you want to read about Fermi's paradox do NOT buy this book.
