The first part of this book is an excellent intoduction into quantum physics. The second part, as they freely admit, is a leap of faith. Don't take it as any more than the authors' point of view. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0387972625, Paperback)

The authors show that a generalized principle of complementarity is pervasive not only in physical theories such as cosmological models of the universe, but also in the construction of all human realities. They suggest that consciousness can no longer be divorced from the problem of the way science opeates. The book concludes by making the case that this entails a new way of understanding the universe that could obviate much of the current conflict between science and religion while providing at the same time a basis for valuation that is better suited for coordinating all human experience.
