The segwayer review above shows clearly why we have a peer review system in science, and why reviews by unknown people are so dangerous. Ward's science, as presented in the book, has been thoroughly peer-reviewed.

It may be an out-of-the-spotlight area of science, but, at this moment in time, I'm hard-pressed to think of any science more important than what is presented in this book. The book changed my life, and that of others with whom I've shared it. I encourage all to read, and most importantly, communicate about what is presented here. The future of the biosphere-as-we-know-it may depend on you.
