From Descartes and Newton to Einstein and Bohr, Capra takes us on a journey through the past four centuries of the scientific revolution and leads us to the birth of a new worldview in response to the escalating world crises. He reveals the difficulty in translating abstract ideas to the screen, and how the use of visual metaphor became a powerful tool and symbolized the importance of the ecological dimension.

Stripping away the known and seeing reality for what it is, rather than for what our thoughts represent it to be, provides the theme for this compelling conversation. The late theoretical physicist David Bohm addresses the nature of thought and thinking, and how our conditioned minds become subordinate to the way we think.

Good Radio

Several New Dimensions radio programs have gained my interest. This one I particularly think could be of interest to a wide audience of lay science listeners if for no other reason than it gives you a view of the integrity and eloquence of Fritjof Capra. He clearly lacks excessive aggrandizement while taking pride in his efforts.

This one, I don't take to be a book plug but it's got some of that in there, perhaps, for Uncommon Wisdom.
