I’m trying to refresh my memory on the earth and space science I learned in college, because the past two years I’ve been teaching other subjects instead of what I’m actually certified in. And I’m sorry, but I’m not learning anything. I thought from the reviews this would be really engaging and interesting, but I keep finding myself distracted, and I’m bored.

Someone forgot that writing popular science takes effort and is not just a way to make tax deductable travels. Someone forgot that characters is brought to life by showing, not telling. Someone forgot that gaps in the science narration of a popular science book is not to be filled by inserting endless footnotes after each chapter, but should blend into the writing.
It is impressive, however, to write a book about science when you obviously did not study neither science nor scientific methods.
