Deserves to be better known - By: The holo-man, 06 Jan 2008 
This book deserves to be better known - it should be as popular as the "Tao of Physics". The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that there are sections that don't live up to the claim to be written without technical jargon. But don't let that put you off as it mainly concerns just one chapter and, while the rest of the book may require a little intellectual exercise, it is well worth the effort so that you can share Bohm's view of the universe as a holomovement. He even resolves the problem of non-locality & thus reconciles the differences between quantum theory & relativity. Bohm has taken science forward, it is just a pity that so few have followed him.
As easy as wrestling a hologram! - By: Peter FYFE, 21 May 2004 
At its heart, David Bohm awe-inspiring book explores a deceptively simple & [I think] very old idea: everythingin the universe that we can observe, measure, describe, & come to understand is connected, even if we cannot observe, measure, describe & come to understand that connection (Bohm's "implicate order"). It's not for the faint hearted. You'll be confronted with a devastatingly beautiful philosophical insight that completely undermines our post-"enlightenment" western tendency to divide, conquer, fragment & isolate everything we attempt to understand. You may need to skip the mathematical chunks & do some background reading into Quantum physics to survive the rigours of the argument. You'll probably get frustrated at Bohm's winsome ability to be mathematician & physicist one minute & philosopher & mystic the next. But if you hangin there, you'll find yourself returning again & again to contemplate this profound contribution to occidental thinking, as I have.
Physics for the 21st Century - By: paulj.turner@ntlworld.com, 15 Jan 2002 This is a superbly written exposition of intriguing ideas on the nature of reality. I have not studied Physics but was able to understand the key concepts used to convey Bohm's theory. Bohm's key idea is that reality is a totalityin movement & can not be completely grasped by fragmented & static thought. Rather we must allow our own understanding to move & change with what we observe to stay closer to reality. Deep, enlightening & insightful stuff!
Bridges the chasm between science and spirituality - By: nigelmallows@yahoo.com, 06 Jul 2001 I read this book eight years ago but its impact is still with me to this day. David Bohm writes with great authority & clarity. He uses language, which by its very nature, is dualistic, to describe something which has no opposite. In doing so, he has enabled me, & any other reader who so chooses, to transcend the tiresome Aristotelian dialectic which seems to be so necessary to preserve the world-view that time & space are real!
