Summary: Gentle inspiration
Review: Well, there's "deceptively simple," and then there's just plain simple. Having read a couple of Zukav's earlier works, I picked this up hastily without looking inside, and was quite taken aback by the tone, which had me looking all over the jacket to find where it must say that it was written for children. Realizing that this was indeed meant for adults left me both insulted and saddened. On one hand I hate to knock this kind of material, which I suppose must be valuable to those who've never heard of these concepts (or, indeed, much of anything), or spent much time in personal reflection. On the other hand, I fear that the Mister Rogers tone ("Have you ever heard of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table?" "Have you ever wondered what makes an airplane go?") is perfect fodder for the many who view belief in multisensory perception or reincarnation as antithetical to intellect.
