Weak delete. The listing of his book by the Christian Science Monitor is significant, but it's only one source. We need multiple sources (with nontrivial coverage of the subject or his works beyond bylines in local newspapers) for
WP:GNG. I could be convinced to change my mind if more good sources turn up. —

Weak keep In addition to Christian Science Monitor, there are book reviews in
Northeast Naturalist and
BookList, plus a couple local sources in the article. It's a borderline case. --
