Five stars for importance of topic, and five stars for the strength of the message. However, this very slight book is so full of caveats, sentence fragments, and hedging that it became very frustrating to read. I fully understand that the reason for this cautious tone is because the authors are scientists.

It is only in the concluding chapter, in which the authors some up all the material that has come before, that we see some of their passion.
