A special edition of the “brilliant” best-selling classic on the paradoxes of modern physics and their relationship to concepts of Eastern mysticism ( New York Magazine ) The Tao of Physics brought the mystica Review: Interesting exploration of the parallels between these two worlds - Yet not going into too much details of neither of them. Could be quite heavy on the physics parts for those without engineering background. Review: Brilliant in concept - I had heard a lot about this book. Fully satisfied and overwhelmed by the comparisons Dr Capra makes with ancient eastern religious texts. Must read for the modern generation. Abstract concepts of physics are explained in layman's terms without any complex mathematical equations. Can be read again and again to ponder over the points raised.

Clarity and concision
This is a book well worth reading from cover to cover. And I especially liked the two prefaces and two afterwords, and the epilogue. There are no less than 60 mentions of scientists, mystics and scientific theories for those interested in further research. A book for every school library, one that may replace many many other more sectarian ones.

An interesting comparison.
Very interesting how ancient eastern philosophy described reality that modern physics now reveals.
