Hi is one path breaking book, I think it is the first book by any scientist to actually bridge the gap between the "Eastern Mysticism" and "Modern Physics".Capra gives striking parallels between the two.
Again this being his first book I feel the thoughts are not as clear as in his other book - the turning point but still feel this has a lot of matter in it. The comparison and the introduction tho the different philosophies of the east, the various believes that these possessed, and the way they could be paralleled in the modern world are very good topics to think about.
He tries alomost convincingly to a great extent to draw parallel between the modern concepts of physics like the unity of matter, space time, dynamic universe, quark symetry with the philosphical thoughts of eastern - hinduism, buddhism, taoism, Zen and many more.
This book is worth a read when you have time and feel you have an interest in these things...
