Physics of the Soul: The Quantum Book of Living, Dying, Reincarnation, and Immortality

Amit Goswami. Hampton Roads Publishing Company, $22.95 (304pp) ISBN 978-1-57174-250-6

Can the bizarre and probabilistic world of quantum physics be used to prove the existence of the soul and its immortality? In Physics of the Soul: The Quantum Book of Living, Dying, Reincarnation, and Immortality, Amit Goswami (The Self-aware Universe; Quantum Creativity; etc.) details how cutting-edge science might be used to answer questions that religions have grappled with for millennia. The author hypothesizes that a ""quantum monad"" is involved in reincarnation, and draws upon UFO sightings, past-life regression, ghosts and angels to broaden the applicability of his ideas. New Age buffs should find this book appealing. (Sept.)
