The Dancing WuLi Masters:
An Overview of the New Physics
Gary Zukav
paperback
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.

The Holographic Universe
Michael Talbot
paperback
Today nearly everyone is familiar with holograms, three-dimensional
images projected into space with the aid of a laser. Now, two
of the world's most eminent thinkers -- University of London
physicist David Bohm, a former protege of Einstein's and one
of the world's most respected quantum physicists, and Stanford
neurophysiologist Karl Pribram, one of the architects of our
modern understanding of the brain -- believe that the universe
itself may be a giant hologram, quite literally a kind of image
or construct created, at least in part, by the human mind. This
remarkable new way of looking at the universe explains not only
many of the unsolved puzzles of physics, but also such mysterious
occurrences as telepathy, out-of-body and near-death experiences,
"lucid" dreams, and even religious and mystical experiences
such as feelings of cosmic unity and miraculous healings.

A Brief History of Time:
From the Big Bang to Black Holes
Stephen W. Hawking
paperback
hardback
by the author,"I decided to try and write a popular book
about space and time. There were already a considerable number
of books about the early universe and black holes; however, I
felt that none of them really addressed the questions that had
led me to do research in cosmology and quantum theory: Where
did the universe come from? How and why did it begin? Will it
come to an end, and if so, how? These are questions that are
of interest to us all. But modern science has become so technical
that only a very small number of specialists are able to master
the mathematics used to describe them. Yet the basic ideas about
the origin and fate of the universe can be stated without mathematics
in a form that people without a scientific education can understand.
This is what I have attempted to do in this book. The reader
must judge whether I have succeeded."

The Global Brain Awakens:
Our Next Evolutionary Leap
Peter Russell

Spanning from the Big Bang to the Information Age and beyond
goes back to the beginning of time to take the reader on a flowing
fascinating journey to our current world and our possible future.
Extracting from the realities of today's unprecedented technological
growth, ecological imbalance, political strife and emerging social-awareness

Russell supposes that we are on the verge of a major planetary
transformation-which in all of human and planetary history has
never been so dangerous or promising.
