Hi Courtney,
Because of health reasons and just dealing with life in general, I’m only about a third of the way through Chapter Five of Volume One. But my first impressions are that the UM is an excellent science book for homeschoolers, advanced kids in middle school, and for high school or Junior College.
For one thing it challenges the prevailing (but crumbling) theories and the standard cosmological model. In other words it serves as an excellent check on the standard model.
More to come. As I have time to study it. 🙂
