Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read a lot of books. I don't write many reviews. This book needed a bad review besides the whacko "there's no such thing as climate change..." Or "I'm born again.." reviews. If you are born again why are you reading a book about science anyway? The author tells a story about Jews surviving the exodus which she then acknowledges is most likely fiction. Why include it? Oh, the author is Jewish. She concludes that San Francisco is the city of the future. Guess where she lives? You got it San Francisco. She goes on at length quoting multiple books from her favorite science fiction author. Then uses those ideas as quasi facts about what the future looks like. Then there is a random story about the survival of gray whales. Oddly the whales survive only because humans decide to let them. The whales which I am glad survive and think the planet would be a lesser place without them, do nothing, no adapting, no evolving, to help their own fate. They just exist until we stop killing them. What could this story have to do with the premise? Nothing actually it appears a nice way to introduce a story about the authors trip to whale watch. Where did she whale watch? Wait for it, oh you probably already guessed, the San Francisco Bay. The title was very appealing as was the NPR snippet I read. Sadly this book is not good. For someone who writes a science blog this book is so egocentric it defies explanation. If your looking for good nonfiction look else where.
