| | | David Bohm was one of the foremost scientific thinkers and philosophers of our time. Although deeply influenced by Einstein, he was also, more unusually for a scientist, inspired by mysticism. Indeed, in the 1970s and 1980s he made contact with both J. Krishnamurti and the Dalai Lama whose teachings helped shape his work. In both science and philosophy, Bohm''s main concern was with understanding the nature of reality in general and of consciousness in particular. In this classic work he develops a theory of quantum physics which treats the totality of existence as an unbroken whole. Writing clearly and without technical jargon, he makes complex ideas accessible to anyone interested in the nature of reality.

| Author Bio| Dr. David Bohm | | David Joseph Bohm was born in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania but left the U.S. in 1951 after being accused of un-American activities during the McCarthy era. Prior to leaving the States, Bohm received his Bachelor of Science degree from Pennsylvania State University in 1939, and his Ph.D. in physics at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1943. From 1947 to 1951, he taught at Princeton University where he specialized in quantum mechanics, plasmas, metals, and elementary particle physics. He eventually emigrated to England in 1961. In 1990 he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society. In his later years, Bohm developed an interest in philosophy and wrote several books on physics and the nature of consciousness. |
