Zukav - Wu Li Masters

[Monte Davis]

OK, no book that sparks a reader's interest (leading to better books) is
entirely worthless. But Zukav's predisposition -- his conviction that modern
physics *will* confirm what he wanted to believe before he started,
validating Ancient Oriental Insight -- is antithetical to real science.

As, of course, is the von Braun epigraph to GR, with its application of
conservation principles to consciousness. A little more biology in place of
rocket engineering might have clued him in that 
life proceeds by throwing all kinds of stuff away. The White Visitation and
T.W.I.T. are full of Zukavs and Capras.

Well, he explains at least one or two things that may lead you to
further exploration.
