Synopsis

Near Fine. See scans and description. London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1980 (1981). Second Correction (1981) of the First Edition. Octavo, 224 pp., deep navy boards with silver spine imprinting, purple dustjacket with circle design. A Near Fine book - fine but for a rubber stamped $25 dollar price on the half-title (see scans) - in a Fine jacket. In protective mylar. See all scans. This is the third version of the first edition, bearing corrections made (apparently) in 1981 (see scan of copyright page). Celebrated quantum physicist David Bohm's relatively concise offering of his notions regarding the implicate and explicate orders of reality - that the apparent specificness of qualities such as location, and the perceived separateness of things (whether particles or people), that being the explicate order, may in fact be only a semi-autonomous, and certainly temporary, reflection of a greater, underlying, undivided whole (the implicate order). Bohm's thinking in this regard is part of what has led to a variety of hypotheses about the universe, as perceived by us, being holographic. L10n
