Many books have been written in the ensuing years about the connections between quantum theory and the ideas of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism, but \u003ci\u003eThe Tao of Physics\u003c\/i\u003e serves as the foundation on which the others have been built, and its wisdom has stood the test of time. Its publication in over twenty languages stands as testimony to its universal applicability and enduring significance. This special edition celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the perennial classic and includes new material by the author—a preface, an updated afterword, and a postscript—reflecting on further discoveries and developments in the years since the book’s initial publication.“A brilliant best-seller. . . . Lucidly analyzes the tenets of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism to show their striking parallels with the latest discoveries in cyclotrons.”\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eNew York Magazine \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A pioneering book of real value and wide appeal.”\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Fritjof Capra, in  \u003ci\u003eThe Tao of Physics \u003c\/i\u003e, seeks . . . an integration of the mathematical world view of modern physics and the mystical visions of Buddha and Krishna.  Where others have failed miserably in trying to unite these seemingly different world views, Capra, a high-energy theorist, has succeeded admirably.
