He takes the reader on a fascinating journey to the world of atoms and their constituents, which makes compelling reading. From his text emerges a picture of the material world not as a machine made up of a multitude of objects, but a harmonious \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"organic\" whole whose parts are determined by their inter-relations. The universe of the modern physicist, like that of the Eastern mystic, is engaged in a continuous cosmic dance; it is a system of inseparable, interacting and ever moving components of which the observer is, him- or herself, an integral part; it reflects a reality behind the world of ordinary sense-perception which involves spaces of higher dimensions and transcends ordinary language and logical reasoning.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSince taking his Ph.D. at the University of Vienna in 1966, Fritjof Capra has been doing research in theoretical high-energy physics at the University of Paris, the University of California, Santa Cruz, Stanford University and Imperial College in London. Beside his technical research papers, he has written several more general articles about the relations between modern physics and Eastern mysticism, and has lectured extensively about this \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etopic to general student audiences in England and the United States. He is presently lecturing at the University of California, Berkeley.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__description rte quick-add-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaperback (covers and spine have signs of use)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Acceptable, no notes\/stamps, pages yellowed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e0394731115\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublishing House: Shambhala\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Eureka Editions ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57199726100828,"sku":null,"price":12.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/6333\/3724\/files\/0B47CC47-D19D-4E51-B4F3-93EC3ADEA7FD.jpg?v=1774702280","url":"https:\/\/www.eurekaedition.com\/products\/the-tao-of-physics","provider":"Eureka Editions ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
