Slight tanning of pages. Faint scratches on covers due to shelf wear. 'The fact is that physics is not mathematics. Physics, in essence, is simple wonder a the way things are and a divine (some call it compulsive) interest in how that is so. Stripped of mathematics, physics becomes pure enchantment'. Gary Zukav Now issued, Zukav's widely acclaimed bestseller aims to communicate that enchantment, by describing recent developments in advanced physics for those with little or no mathematical or technical knowledge. Here are lively and detailed explanations of current theories of quantum mechanics, Einstein's special and general theories of relativity, and other, even more esoteric, speculations. The author draws comparisons throughout the text between quantum mechanics, modern psychology, and easter thought; indeed the book title is derived from the Chinese ideogram 'Wu Li', which carries the meanings 'patterns of organic energy'; 'My Way'; 'nonsense'; 'I clutch my ideas' and 'enlightenment'. In The Dancing Wu Li Masters Gary Zukav shows how the new physics embraces all of these concepts, conveying the ideas that have revolutionised modern science with rare directness and clarity.
