It looks good as a style. I like that. I think the style fits the audience. But I am a sucky graphic designer.
However it's not immediately known that what you offer is a book (at least in the medium of a book).
If people visit the page without a context, they might not expect a book at the end of the page. You prepared us here that the page is about a book, but will that be the case with everyone visiting it?
You can do a little quick research to see if random people get what is this about.
https://usabilityhub.com/ provides 5 seconds tests - people see the page for 5 sec and they answer a simple question, for example - "what is this page about" or something like that. The 5 sec tests are pretty cheap. Last time used that site you could trade making 1 test for someone else for 1 participant for your test.
10 people should be enough to spot patterns.
There are too many tools. One can drown in tools and still not do anything.
We try to keep as simple as possible, until it is not enough. Then we escalate the tool, but only IF experience proves we work less efficient without it.
Also *x increased chance of various debilitating diseases.

At the end they faced disappointed and lack of congruency.
Over google maps will be tougher as bing maps are not that much developer in this region.
G+, while I use it, it won't hurt me much at this point.
SEO - well, this will hit me a bit and our clients a lot. Not a SEO company, but a lot of the clients have some sort of white hat SEO.
Will use some business apps that we use for gmail for some of our domains.
On the rest, I have migrated to MS services, thus google won't hurt mail, calendars, tasks, cloud storage that much for me.
But this is highly hypothetical situation. The chances of google disappearing is lower than ... I don't know...countries collapsing.
* /r/science (reddit)
* richard dawkins foundation (although there is much crap news there)
* Discover magazine rss
* Scientific american rss
* Ars Technica (not science but they are pretty deep and occasionally scientific)
* Google+ communities about science
Used to follow "I fu*king love science" but this one is not actually scientific at all.
- Sorting things out
- Gaining understanding in things
- Working together with others, as a coordinated team
Both are not limited to certain industry or area.
For me is rather simple, but it took me a lot of time to realize it. I am almost 31y when writing this.
