Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After much research on what resources are available I purchased Sylvia's book on Aquaponics based on the many high reviews it has received on Amazon. It seemed like a good resource to add to the information I've been compiling regarding aquaponics. I was immediately dissapointed in that the first third of the book is spent telling the reader how the world is falling apart and that food production in America is dangerous and driven by greed. Since I purchased a book about Aquaponic Gardening and not the state of food production in America I quickly grew tired of reading about her opinion on the state of food production. Is the subject relevant in a book about Aquaponics, sure, but not near to the extent Sylvia chose to spend. Those who are studying and developing aquaponics are already well aware that things need to change when it comes to feeding ourselves and others. What was also disappointing is that when she got around to explaining aquaponics her approach was narrow and misleading. In her book she teaches her opinion on what works in aquaponic development and not what is being practiced and producing all over the world. She completely ignores certain aspects of design and function while confidently stating that her way is the only way. I may it three fourths of the way thru the book and simply couldn't take it anymore. She either is purposefully leaving out a great deal of information or simply doesn't understand aquaponics enough to be writing an authoritative book on the subject.
