While a chemical engineer from Purdue working for Pfizer, the author was tasked with separating two closely similar chemicals. Brooks believes the equation he derived at that time, using only a slide rule, has implications way beyond the original application. This has not been pursued to the fullest because physicists have accepted more recent findings.

Einstein spent most of his final years trying to discover a unified field theory, one that covered the cosmos as well as inside the atom. Since his death in 1955, others have pursued similar goals. In the light of discoveries from newer research using larger equipment, physicists have derived theories that attempt to explain gravity in the solar system, the concept of time, the Big Bang theory, and light as waves versus particles. In this book the author presents his own solutions by expanding on that early equation and applying the results to the characteristics of atoms and sub-atomic particles. Through eight chapters and slides filled with equations and tables, Brooks identifies arguments and data that should impact future research while reviving Newtonian theories which Einstein rejected.

Although a general edit of the text is required before any future submission of his work to scientific journals, Brooks hopes to spark interest among scientists actively pursuing unified field solutions. However, the author notes that "letting go of a belief or procedure can be financially costly" and, it seems emotionally costly as well. He apologizes to his missionary mother, now deceased, for coming to conclusions about Time that would contradict her own. With most of Brooks' research done in the 1960s or 70s, Radial Implications of the Unified Field lacks the references and citations needed to permit additional submissions to science/engineering publications or conferences. Now in his 80s, the author chose self-publication to preserve the record of his noteworthy efforts and make them accessible to future research.
