A
Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe
by Michael S. Schneider
In the
spiral of the nautilus shell, in the veins of a maple leaf,
in the bonds of the benzene ring--everywhere he looks, Schneider
sees a cosmic geometry. Of course, the lines of this geometry
have long attracted the attention of probing minds, including
Pythagoras, Plato, the Psalmist, Demetrius, and Plotinus.
The author weaves the insights of these thinkers and many
more together in a tapestry of reflections (richly illustrated)
on celestial harmonies. Once initiated into the ancient
mysteries, the reader will recognize profound meanings--not
merely scientific utility--in squares, triangles, and other
common shapes. The reader needs no extraordinary expertise
in mathematics to explore these pages, just a relish for
intellectual adventure. Schneider helps us discover just
how much mental energy can fit within the circle of new
horizons.

A
New Science of Life
by Rupert Sheldrake
The
implications of this theory are staggering, from predicting
the course of hurricanes to explaining deja vu. Sheldrake's
thinking seems radical because he does not subscribe to
orthodox scientific assumptions that the universe operates
like a machine; instead, he sees it as much like a living
organism.

The
Art of Dreaming
by Carlos Castenada
The
Art of Dreaming is in my opinion the best of the Carlos
Casteneda series. The sheer terror and excitement encountered
reading the book is a direct strike on one's perception
of the world around them. It presents new readers of the
Castaneda's books with a blow that simply will force them
to continue wanting to learn about the sorcerers cognitive
world, and presents readers of his series of books with
a science of practical application as does magical passes.
The Art of Dreaming is something that all of us can explore
for ourselves if we dare, and this book is a definite read
if we do wish to challenge the boundaries of ordinary perception.

- How Scientists Are Moving Beyond Computers to Create a
Rival to the Human Brain
by David H. Freedman
If you
think supercomputers like Hal 9000, star of 2001, are inevitable,
Freedman may surprise you. For after more than 30 years
of trying to create an electronic brain that matches our
glob of gray matter, he discloses, scientists and engineers
readily admit they are still far from any such goal. Lest
you start thinking the artificial intelligence field is
totally barren, Freedman shows what's presently in it--computers
ranging from some that can think and do logic but not much
else to others that can almost sing and dance but don't
have the sense to come in out of the rain. The scientific
movers and shakers have come to a dead end in trying to
make computer brains that look and act like R2D2 and instead
are looking at how the brain evolved. Ironically, the lowly
cockroach and other bugs may provide the inspiration for
actually building a brain. Some of the newest developments
are downright startling, allowing Freedman to assert that
the next decade or so may see "thinking" computers
that may make Hal 9000 seem outmoded in the real year 2001.

Unequalled
for friendliness of tone and accessibility, a personable
survey of the microscopic and macroscopic phenomena of the
universe. Some of the science is slightly out of date (it
was written in 1967) but if you want a thought-provoking
introduction to the current views of the physical universe,
this is it. I read my copy over and over, and it always
gives me new insights in the way Murchie combines ideas
that have not been combined before. With excellent illustrations
by the author, and the author's own index, which is a deep
work of art in itself.

Quantum
Healing - Exploring the Frontiers of Mind Body Medicine
by Dr. Deepak Chopra
Early
on in Quantum Healing, Deepak Chopra asks an interesting
question: Why, when your body mends a broken arm, is it
not considered a miracle, but when your body rids itself
of cancer, it is? Chopra believes the two phenomena spring
from the same well, that the body is capable of doing much
more than we assume it can. He calls this ability to cure
disease from within "quantum healing," and shows
how we're all capable of it. He believes intelligence exists
everywhere in our bodies, in each of our 50 trillion cells,
and that therefore each cell knows how to heal itself. It's
a fascinating assertion, one that remains un provable by
science but overwhelmingly true by anecdote.

The
Turning Point
by Fritjof Capra
It's
all here. Everything we ever needed to know to begin to
change our world and ourselves. Totally brilliant. Many
years in the making, this book covers a very wide spectrum
of knowledge and is fascinating all the way through. Like
The Tao of Physics, this book looks toward a world view
that encompasses a balance of science and spirit. Capra
is also not shy about deconstructing or criticizing popular
economic and political mythology, which may disturb some
readers, but he has the benefit of input from some of the
greatest minds of our time and his analysis is unassailable.
Female readers will probably appreciate his sensitivity
and balanced approach to feminist perspectives as he discusses
what's wrong with our world and what we can do to change
things.
