I am a lay reader of this particular text, but still found it a very useful critical analysis of Sheldrake's theories. To gain a thorough understanding of Sheldrake's views, there is nothing more helpful than to examine Sheldrake's study being scrutinized by his peers. I would recommend this text to anyone who wants to gain a fuller understanding of Sheldrake's methodology and conclusions and the profound implications they have for the entire realm of science.
