Turning Point

About the Book: Turning Point Until recenlty, our view of the physical universe had been formed, for centuries, by the mechanistic thinking of Descarles and Newlon. New scientific concepts have overturned this world view, replacing it with a more holistic and ecological one that has afforded us deep insights into the nature of matter and its relation to the human mind.
