From the Publisher"With its unique combination of depth, clarity and humor that has enchanted millions, this beloved classic by best-selling author Gary Zukav opens the fascinating world of quantum physics to reader with no mathematical or technical background. "Wu Li" is the Chinese phrase for physics. It means "patterns of organic energy," but it also means "nonsense," "my way," "I clutch my ideas," and "enlightenment." These captivating ideas frame Zukav's evocative exploration of quantum mechanics and relativity theory. Delightfully easy to read, The Dancing Wu Li Masters illuminates the compelling powers at the core of all we know."--BOOK JACKET.

So you think you have a grip on reality...Perception, as it turns out, is not reality. Gary Zukav takes us on a journey of discovery through the bizzare landscape of quatum physics. Beautifully written. Some of the hardest scientific concepts to understand are explained in simple conversational english. This book is a must read for anyone on a quest of discovery.

Barry Baker, A reviewer, 05/30/2003 Absolutely fabulousIf ever wanting to start to read anything for all ages, or at least in high school and above, this is the perfect book. From cover to cover this book keeps you interested. my favorite qoute, 'nonsense is only nonsense until viewed from a different perspective and understood' and 'my uncle thinks he is a football does that make him a genous, no that means he has problems.' This book explains the latest physics in terms that a dumb person can understand, although the more curious you are the better. If you ever ask someone who read this book you will instantly become friends for this book is a landmark for the building of your mind. This is a must read book for any one.

Rachel, college student, 09/05/2002 Finally, something that lay people can understand!This is a wonderful book. I've tried to wade my way through contemporary physics, but it is all too esoteric to comprehend. Along comes the Dancing Wu Li Masters. Written for people who have no background in the complicated mathematical theories behind what's happening in physics today, this book is a life saver for those who wish to know, but don't have the time to explore, the new interpretation of our universe. Highlyrecommended!
