Product Description: Alchemists of the old attempted to make sense of the universe--to discover the connection between mind and matter. Some of today's scientists, in particular quantum physicists, are doing the same. In his latest contribution to the study of consciousness, physicist Fred Alan Wolf reveals what he calls the new alchemy-- a melding of the ideas of the old alchemists and the new scientists to reach a fuller understanding of the mind and matter.

Average Rating:
Rating: - Interesting even though a little hard to understand in places
I like Fred Alan Wolf -- I've seen him speak once and also have a set of CDs he made on quantum physics. If there is anyone who can make physics accessible to the layman it is he. However, I felt a few chapters of this book were really very difficult for me as a non-scientist to understand. That being said, I still found the book worthwhile and especially liked his linking quantum theory to Kaballah. (Jewish mysticism.) Overall, I give it a qualified recommendation.

AN ENTIRE BOOK WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING.
Rating: - straight-forward science
this book explains quantum physics in a way that is easy for just about anyone to understand. dr. wolf's style is great... it's engaging and interesting... and, dare i say it, fun! there are even pictures to make the concepts easier to understand :)
if you're interested in the science-spirituality* link, this is a great book to read.
*not religion or god... but simple spirituality.

Okay, so my mind controls and is in charge everything that I experience, including interactions with other people. So what do their minds control? Taken to its logical conclusion, everyone else I am with is controlling my life as well. So who's in control? Feel the love, but skip this metaphysicla diarrhea.
