  this book was written decades ago, but it is still a powerful read. gary zukav concisely explains quantum physics and illustrates how perception is everything. be ready for a perspective altering book, but be ready for one that you don't just "plow" through.

  i love this book. i believe that the next movement in yoga will be a revival of the ancient idea that we are not separate from nature, but a part of it. david suzuki, as you probably know, is a master at making complex topics simple and this is an awe-inspiring example of that.
