Reviews
Journalist, lawyer, and "independent scholar" Dozier attempts here to combine quantum mechanics, biological evolution, and neurology--the three "codes of evolution"--into one comprehensive theory of the universe, which he calls "unified selection." The results of this effort are, unfortunately, less than enlightening. Dozier does a passable job of explaining how the laws of quantum mechanics underlie molecular biology and how biology in turn is the foundation for current theories of consciousness. However, he fails to explain what any of this has to do with the "collapse of the wave function" or the "thermodynamic pulse," two catch phrases in this theory of unified selection that come up repeatedly. In the end, unified selection itself comes across as a catch phrase rather than a meaningful concept. This book ranks near the bottom of the popular science barrel.
