Summary: Give Dr. Gentry the Nobel Prize
Review: After reading his book, I met and later briefly corresponded with Dr. Gentry when he visited Southern California some years ago. I found him to be a serious researcher, methodical scientist, with projects planned years in advance. His weighty results on Polonium halos cannot be so lightly dismissed as those stuck on the old earth paradigm would like to do, nor should they be first, ignored ("they're so tiny, after all"), and then, suppressed ("we'll lose our funding"), as establishment, big science has done.All the criticisms I have seen leveled against Dr. Gentry's findings are beside the point, straw men, or "evidence" of "old age" which has been roundly refuted in many other publications. If you care for the truth, read the book. If you can't handle the vast detail and correspondence reproduced in the book, get his video. Although I had the honor, as a student, to briefly meet the late, great, Drs. Richard Feynman and Fred Hoyle at Caltech, standing beside Dr. Gentry was a bigger honor! I went over everything in the book with a fine-toothed comb. There was no logical flaw. No point of fact I could dispute. The implications of his work are truly profound.

Summary: A Man's Sacrifice Of Career For Truth
Review: As far as I know, Mr. Gentry (who should have a Ph.D.) was refused the doctorate because his research into radiohalos would "embarass" Georgia Tech. Interesting how peer pressure rules among eggheads. Jesus said "How can ye, that receive honour among yourselves, receive the honor that cometh from God only?"

Summary: great for epistomological anarchists
Review: For me it was not so much what this book says but the fact that it exists. When it comes to the age of the earth I am an agnostic. What cannot be denied is how science is an appendage of the state and how political conserderation do come into account. Incidentally, Gentry's work which is offically ignored has implications for radioactive waste disposal.

Summary: A gem burried in details
Review: I rank this book as one of the most significant works I have ever read. The book is terribly detailed and hard to read because Robert Gentry is out to prove a point - not just make it. Because he is a detail oriented scientist, he burries you in all the facts that describe polonium halos ad nausium. But if you dig through, and it helps if you know a little nuclear physics, you will finally come up with the astounding point of this book - The Earth was made in a very short time - in a matter of hours! This blows many preconceptions out the window. Gentry was published in such prestigeous publications as Science and Nature - until the inescapable conclusions of his facts were discovered by the establishment. He also goes into how he was suppressed from further research and his part in the infamous Scopes trial. If you can handle technical reading and really want to know the truth - this book is for you!
