Re. Strickling's book ORIGINS . . .

You can't judge a book by its cover - nor necessarily by its
publisher. Most of the content in ORIGINS . . . was first 
published in interdisciplinary journals after thorough
editorial reviews. Admittedly, it is unorthodox enough to
make most "mainline" book publishers shy away. (But then
Vantage provides its authors a 40% commission - certainly
worth considering.)

Darwin's views were also unorthodox when first introduced -
and still should be, as far as speciation is concerned.

Reviews of ORIGINS . . . are forthcoming and will be
announced. But why wait? Make your own judgment.
