David Bohm was one of the foremost scientific thinkers and philosophers of our time. Although deeply influenced by Einstein, he was also, more unusually for a scientist, inspired by mysticism. Indeed, in the 1970s and 1980s he made contact with both J. Krishnamurti and the Dalai Lama whose teachings helped shape his work. In both science and philosophy, Bohm's main concern was with understanding the nature of reality in general and of consciousness in particular. In this classic work he develops a theory of quantum physics which treats the totality of existence as an unbroken whole. Writing clearly and without technical jargon, he makes complex ideas accessible to anyone interested in the nature of reality.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Near Fine. See scans and description. London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1980 (1981). Second Correction (1981) of the First Edition. Octavo, 224 pp., deep navy boards with silver spine imprinting, purple dustjacket with circle design. A Near Fine book - fine but for a rubber stamped $25 dollar price on the half-title (see scans) - in a Fine jacket. In protective mylar. See all scans. This is the third version of the first edition, bearing corrections made (apparently) in 1981 (see scan of copyright page). Celebrated quantum physicist David Bohm's relatively concise offering of his notions regarding the implicate and explicate orders of reality - that the apparent specificness of qualities such as location, and the perceived separateness of things (whether particles or people), that being the explicate order, may in fact be only a semi-autonomous, and certainly temporary, reflection of a greater, underlying, undivided whole (the implicate order). Bohm's thinking in this regard is part of what has led to a variety of hypotheses about the universe, as perceived by us, being holographic. L10n. Seller Inventory # 001378

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Plus. 1st Edition. Fine book, but for owner's signature on FFEP, in a better-than-Very Good jacket which is price-clipped and somewhat spine-sunned, else would also be Fine. London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1980. First Correction (1980) of the First Edition. Octavo, xv + 224 pp., purple boards with silver spine imprinting, Purple dustjacket with circle design. Immaculate except as noted above. See all scans. This is the second version of the first edition, bearing 1980 corrections (see scan of copyright page).

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: About Near Fine. 1st Edition. Very Good book (due to underscoring), in clipped, otherwise Near Fine jacket. See scans and description. London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1980. True First Edition, prior to the 1980 and apparent 1981 corrected versions. Octavo, xv + 224 pp., purple cloth boards with silver spine imprinting, Purple dustjacket with circle design (the jacket, with this first edition, is of a deeper purple shade than for the subsequent two hardcover versions), and the third variant is in deep navy boards rather than purple. Substantial underscoring by a previous owner, on approximately half of the pages; jacket lower right corner has been clipped; offset to endpapers. Without the underlining, this would be a Near Fine example. This is the scarce uncorrected true first edition, with no corrections noted on the copyright page (see scan). Celebrated quantum physicist David Bohm's relatively concise offering of his notions regarding the implicate and explicate orders of reality - that the apparent specificness of qualities such as location, and the perceived separateness of things (whether particles or people), that being the explicate order, may in fact be only a semi-autonomous, and certainly temporary, reflection of a greater, underlying, undivided whole (the implicate order).
