Blackfoot Physics: A Journey into the Native American Practice

Fascinating Stuff
It takes a while to get into this book because the first chapter is a bit boring (needs some serious editing, in fact). But once past that hurdle, there's not a dull moment. While one might take issue with the author's apparent attitude that the Native American version of science is superior to that of the Western world's, there's no doubt that the Western world has missed a lot of vital ...

Excellent summary of Bohm's perspective on life and physics
This is an excellent account of David Bohm, his work and his philosophy. It details his encounters with some of the leading thinkers of his day, including Albert Einstein, Jiddu Krishnamurti and Richard Feynman. Bohm's treatment of his theory of the explicate order and implicate order is described in a very eloquent way by the author. It also addresses how David Bohm was one of those super ...

From Certainty to Uncertainty: The Story of Science and Ideas in the Twentieth Century

Very simple yet also very deep.
This is a wide reaching and clearly thought out presentation. The ideas presented here should form a basis for thinking about science as well as about how we see life in general. Clearly, an outstanding book.
Pathways of Chance

Pari Publishing
, 2007
The Author writes:
"Pathways of Chance" was a joy to write. It was an opportunity to look back on my life, recall the people I had met and explore the ideas that had intrigued me. The book begins in wartime England, continues with my life as a student in Liverpool at the time of the Beatles, it then moves to Canada, to a meeting with the physicist and philosopher, David Bohm, an encounter with the Blackfoot and ...
Synchronicity: The Bridge Between Matter and Mind
6 reviews
F. David Peat
Bantam Books
, 1987
One of the best and most Helpful books I have ever read
Synchronicity shatters causality as being capable of applying to the entire macrocosm. It demands that we progress on from the Newtonian worldview. Though the explanations for synchronicity might seem just as incomprehensible, with this book synchronicity won't seem as impossible. We get the bridge between an artistic and mechanistic universe. Linearity and Nonlinearity, mind and matter, ...
Looking Glass Universe: The Emerging Science of Wholeness (Touchstone Book)

A Must-Read book
This is a life-changing book. The tables/addenda in the back are even more fascinating than the text, which tells how the author, a well respected physician, reluctantly learned he can perform distant healing. He then explored the literature on how this could be and brilliantly ties together experiences in shifts of how time and distance are experienced or viewed by mystics, mediums, and psychics.
The Blackwinged Night: Creativity in Nature and Mind

Deeper than Dreams...
This is an excellent book, one of those very few that manage to be both disarmingly simple yet profound at once. Peat is a past-master at grasping the most arcane and difficult theories. He has studied and written on chaos theory, the science of complexity, fractals, quantum mysteries, David Bohm's implicate order, and subjects of special interest in the art world. Simultanously, he has ...

Excellent Introduction!
I found this book to be an excellent introduction to some fascinating fields in theoretical physics. It is easy to read and was hard for me to put down. I am not a Mathematician or a Physicist but this book has done a lot to pique my interest and motivate me to tackle the Math required for a deeper inquiry into these fascinating subjects. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Bohm With His Usual Brilliance
Up front, I believe David Bohm was one of the most outstanding thinkers of the 20th century, if not the whole of human existence. Like removing the layers of an onion, he peels away the often faulty assumptions we all live with and quickly gets to the heart of the matter. WHY and HOW we think the way we do are indeed more vital to understand than WHAT we think. Rational thought and creativity ...
