This book is a let down. Every chapter starts good, moving up the ladder of discoveries and theories, but when the ultimate discovery of the subject is reached, we are given a few sentences about it and something like "it would be too difficult to explain to the layman..." The author lead me on over and over; half way through chapter 6 I threw it away--and I never throw a book away; I usually sell or donate a book but not this one.
