The Teardrop Theory

Claire,

Chasing Pharaohs is ranked Number ONE!

Congratulations!

By the way, being the type of genre my book is .... do you think it will sell. It does'nt seem to be drawing any interest.

I'd like to know.

Cheers!

Thank you Richard.

Don't waste too much time on my work. I shall be updating the work soon and shall let you know then.

Till then, all the best in your quest for excellence.

Raymond

You evaluate, analyse and synthesise the big questions of the universe. Your input is of course theories but I'm encourage to believe what you say.
The CERN input on the "see tomorrow today" is interesting. However, I'm not convince. We can predict then hope our prediction materialise. We can't 100% say what would happen tomorrow

Anyway, you have produced a fascinating piece of work. I read chapter one, nine to go. I 'll read and feedback on each chapter/theory

I like your premise and I am in awe of your knowledge. Fitting all the pieces together must take a mind that thinks outside the box. The more I read the more I want to learn - I wasn't aware I knew so little.

Dear Raymond

I have looked just now at the ten chapters which you have uploaded of "The Teardrop Theory".

I have not read it all - there is much here which is beyond my understanding, nowhere more than at the beginning, which, given the nature of readers who look for a gripping start, hooks, plots and the rest, might be considered a disadvantage.

But some things are clear to me. FIrstly, I love the way you write. Your enthusiasm for your subject feels genuine and is infectious. Your playful light-heartedness carries your reader along with you to the next discovery and the next. I would like to have the whole book in my hands, with all your illustrations, and read it. Or dip in and out of it.

Whatever way I choose, yours would be a book I would cherish, for the sheer interest of your discoveries and the amount of research you have collected. You play, which, in academic and scientific books of this sort, is unusual and refreshing.

Your material could do with being edited thoroughly, for present/past tense switches, for idiom and flow. But that in no way takes anything from the joy in this book, the happiness that emanates from it. I do hope you continue with your writing, for it is exciting and challenging.

Perhaps Authonomy is not the best site for your book. There is a lot of chic lit here, horror, teen lit and fantasy, crime and true life stories. There seems to be less material of academic interest. But I am very pleased that I happened across your book.

Thank you.

Very interesting indeed, and I like the questioning approach. There remain so many things which are unexplained and, often, our attempts at explaining them simply deepen the mystery - especially when we forget solid scientific principles. Good luck with this.

Dear Raymond,

‘The Teardrop Theory’ seems to be a meticulously researched and extremely well written piece of work from start to finish. I’ve read different types of books, but I’m yet to come across an acknowledgement section that’s so beautifully written. Such eloquence and modesty – that’s enough to incite any sensible reader to read on and find out more about what this remarkable book has to offer. I’ve finished the first 6 chapters and will come back for more.

At this point, I have nothing much to offer in the form of a critique, because except for a few typos, the MS seems to be publication ready. However, if you’re looking to attract more attention on this site (which is only right because more readers who are scientifically inclined need to read this), then I have a couple of small suggestions.

First off, I find that you’ve omitted certain chapters (which form the crux of your treatise) from this extract. Without them, the book looks just like a compilation of knowledge and information from a diverse range of disciplines from astronomy to biological sciences. It’s an excellent single point source for the history of the solar system, earth and life at best, with nothing new to offer. Nothing to provoke interesting new thought or rigorous debates as suggested by the pitch. But, that's not true, because your book is so much more than that. I think what you need to do is give your readers a little glimpse the real ‘Teardrop Theory’ early on in the account to garner more interest.
Secondly, The sheer volume of information (including some very interesting trivia) imparts a text book like quality to your work, which can come across as a bit dense to some readers, especially those with a non-science background. Maybe, you can spice it up with a little humour and even abandon the strict chronological order of events in favour of a more interesting non-linear narrative.

That's all. My rating: 6 stars (couldn’t be less)

Best regards,
Abhishek.

High stars for the Teardrop Theory. Very interesting observations. The idea of the earth’s continents and islands being one big land mass has fascinated many and I like the way you examine how the many dots are joined. Chapter 2 is delightfully entertaining and educational. I wish my text book at school looked more like this. I might have learned something. . . And as for the big bangs, I had never thought of other universes having those. My tiny mind thought ours was the only one! Thank you for the journey. Claire ~ Chasing Pharaohs.

Did you mean to write the penguins have taught us? However - I LIKE the idea of the penguins thought life just evolves' ;-) You seem to use_ when you need HYPHEN - .
Content of book excellent. Very plausable - Anyone looking at a world map or globe can see how continents look like a broken jigsaw.
QUESTIONS ABOUT MIGRATING BIRDS - What happened here? Some of the writing is rather faint.

I really enjoyed this. It needs some good plugging to get it where it deserves to be

Your pitch sounded good, but the long gaps between passages/ paragraphs put me off reading.

You make science interesting and entertaining.
Brilliant :)

Raymond,
You present these theories is such a reader-friendly way. It's far more interesting than a typical science textbook. I love to find Biblical quotes in any book and don't remember them from any school textbooks. Six stars for The Teardrop Theory.

Very interesting concept, though my views are vastly different knowledge is never wasted. You tell your POV with conviction and tha is all a writer can hope to get across with this type of informative book. I wish you much success Patricia aka Columbia Layers of the Heart

This is great informative book.
