Some of my encounters with new authors have changed my life a little.
When I have been perplexed,
looking for something I could not define to myself,
a certain book has turned up,
approached me as a friend would.
And between its cover carried the questions and the answers I was looking for.

Description:
Since its release in 1991, Mindwalk has
become a cult classic, showing not only in theaters, but in college courses and
business seminars. Liv Ullmann, Sam Waterston, and John Heard play the leads
who meet on the tidal island of Mont-Saint-Michel in France and enter into a
philosophical discussion.
Social and environmental
concerns are at the heart of the film, which proposes alternative solutions
based on Systems Theory, along with insights into Quantum Mechanics and
Particle Physics.
The film is based on Fritjof
Capra's book The Turning Point (1982).

Description:
“After a time of decay comes the
turning point.” – I Ching.
A compelling vision of a new
reality, a reconciliation of science and the human spirit for a future that
will work.
The dynamics underlying the
major problems of our time – cancer, crime, pollution, nuclear power,
inflation, the energy shortage – are all the same. We have reached a time of
dramatic and potentially dangerous change, a turning point for the planet as a whole.
We need a new vision of reality, one that allows the forces transforming our
world to flow together as a positive movement for social change. Now
distinguished scientist Fritjof Capra gives us that vision, a holistic paradigm
of science and spirit.
“This splendid and thoughtful
book is an essential guide for anyone inquiring about the place of science and
metascience in our contemporary culture. Those who enjoyed Fritjof
Capra’s Tao of Physics should not expect a sequel; this is a
much more ambitious book that attempts and succeeds in presenting a whole
worldview from the viewpoint of a committed and experienced physicist who also
writes from within the North American culture…. It is unusually detailed and
thorough in its inclusion of the conventional and the alternative approaches to
topics ranging from ecology through medicine and psychology to economics. It is
at once scholarly and easy to read.” – Jim Lovelock, New Scientist.
