For you book, may I suggest that Audible provides a very nice system to get an Audible version. You can do it yourself: they make easy getting a narrator through an audition process and standard contracts etc with you owning all the results and not that expensive (basically by the hours of the resulting audio book). Not that expensive. I would have bought the Audible edition of your book to 'read' in my car while hung up in traffic.

I am interested in your book, but perhaps not for the reasons you might imagine (you are my lab animal :-):

Here is one of my books with a great narrator (who had a Ph.D. and understood exactly what he was reading).

The audible book sales easily paid back my investment in his high quality narration. (Listen to a snippet).

Here is why I called you my lab animal...I think your book would provide an interesting insight into how cognitive information is organized through the natural language window on brain computation:

I'm not a physicist so I have no opinions about what you are expert at. But I admit I too found the idea of heavy elements from explosions a bit shaky and find the idea of pressure much more believable. Along those lines and lines I am interested in, here is perhaps an 11th Assumption of Science (containment):

Which is pertinent to something I am an expert on: the neuroscience of brain computation as informed by human lying.

And old friend of mine, Roger Shank (Computational Linguist) used to say: if you can find ten of something (in cognitive computations), you can find Eleven. But that will be about it.
