| "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"

| "On the Political by Chantal Mouffe (Paperback, 2005)" |
| "Since September 11th we frequently hear that political differences should be put aside the real struggle is between good and evil What does this mean for political and social life? Is there a 'Third Way' beyond left and right and if so should we fear or welcome it? This thought-provoking book by Chantal Mouffe a globally recognized political author presents a timely account of the current state of democracy affording readers the most relevant and up-to-date information Arguing that liberal 'third way thinking' ignores fundamental conflicting aspects of human nature Mouffe states that far from expanding democracy globalization is undermining the combative and radical heart of democratic life Going back first to Aristotle she identifies the historical origins of the political and reflects on the Enlightenment and the social contract arguing that in spite of its good intentions it levelled the radical core of political life Contemporary examples including the Iraq war racism and the rise of the far right are used to illustrate and support her theory that far from combating extremism the quest for consensus politics undermines the ability to challenge it These case studies are also highly effective points of reference for student revision On the Political is a stimulating argument about the future of politics and addresses the most fundamental aspects of democracy that will aid further study"
