"The Static Universe" is an anthem for the growing number of skywatchers who are heartily sick and tired of being led up the garden path. Is the Universe expanding? Maverick astrophysicist Hilton Ratcliffe, author of the highly controversial book "The Virtue of Heresy", argues that it is not, and if he's right, an entire body of science is brought to its knees. The impact of the ensuing catastrophe will be devastating, and the cost to those who doggedly defend the prevailing paradigm is inestimable. It certainly runs to billions of dollars. In a world where self-interest rules, the author of this shocking expos is literally putting himself on the line. Big Brother does not want you to read this!

From the Back Cover

"The instinctive reaction of many readers will be to give a sad smile, close the book and discard it. This, I submit, is precisely what should not be done. Hilton's theories, wildly unconventional though they may be, are backed up by what he regards as convincing evidence, and before rejecting them the reader must surely examine them very carefully indeed. It is easy to see that a tremendous amount of research has gone into the book."
Sir Patrick Moore, CBE, FRS.

"I think your book is brave, well written and with good ideas to think about. It will be an important reference among the heterodox forbidden books on Cosmology."
Dr Mart�n L�pez-Corredoira, Instituto de Astrof�sica de Canarias.

"I read your book with great enjoyment. I was shocked to learn that there are so many quasars with a measureable proper motion! This is just so big a blow in the face of the Big Bang, it's unbelievable. Thank you again for doing such a wonderful work!"
Dr Louis Marmet, National Research Council Canada.

"Up till now I would have to say we have been 'brain-washed' with the popular standard model for the Universe and it is most refreshing to read your work based upon, in my most humble opinion, excellent observations and argument. It is a book I shall read over and over like your previous one 'The Virtue of Heresy'."
Wayne Hutcheon, amateur astronomer.
