Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Gary Zukav has written "the Bible" for those who are curious about the mind-expanding discoveries of advanced physics, but who have no scientific background. Like a Wu Li Master who would teach us wonder for the falling petal before speaking of gravity, Zukav writes in beautifully clear language – with no mathematical equations – opening our minds to the exciting new theories that are beginning to embrace the ultimate nature of our universe...Quantum mechanics, relativity, and beyond to the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen effect and Bell's theorem.
Review:
"'Stripped of mathematics, physics becomes pure enchantment'...I don't care how dumb you are at science; you'll come away from this book feeling like a Wu Li master yourself."
-Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times

Review:
"Zukav is such a skillful expositor, with such amiable style, that it is hard to imagine a layman who would not find this book enjoyable and informative."

This is not the most current book on physics, but it is interesting in that it talks not just about the science but also about the philosophical implications of the science. It is also a fairly easy read and not at all dificult to understand, but Zukav's explanations sometimes lack detail in order to accomplish this.
