Dr James Maxlow’s new Book, Terra Non Firma Earth, deals with one of the most controversial scientific theories about the Earth. It is commonly believed that the Earth has been a constant diameter during most of geological time, but James Maxlow provides a range of evidence that the Earth is expanding in size.
James Maxlow’s eBook is an important landmark in science and the questions raised in it need to be seriously considered by all sincere scientists.
