Description: "The Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra, first published in 1975, was the groundbreaking work that linked subatomic physics with Eastern mysticism. As the foundational text in this genre, it has remained influential for five decades, translated into over twenty languages. This 50th anniversary edition includes new reflections from Capra on scientific and philosophical developments since its original release."--

Review Quotes: "A brilliant best-seller. . . . Lucidly analyzes the tenets of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism to show their striking parallels with the latest discoveries in cyclotrons."
--New York Magazine

"A pioneering book of real value and wide appeal."
--Washington Post

"Fritjof Capra, in The Tao of Physics , seeks . . . an integration of the mathematical world view of modern physics and the mystical visions of Buddha and Krishna. Where others have failed miserably in trying to unite these seemingly different world views, Capra, a high-energy theorist, has succeeded admirably. I strongly recommend the book to both layman and scientist."
--V. N. Mansfield, Physics Today

"I have been reading the book with amazement and the greatest interest, recommending it to everyone I meet, and as often as possible, in my lectures. I think [Capra has] done a magnificent and extremely important job."
--Joseph Campbell
