Fragments Of Natural History

Author:
First published in Sanctuary Asia, Vol. 30 No. 12, December 2010

 

Though the book was written as part of the study material for students of Rishi Valley enrolled in the Home Study Course in Ornithology, it is sure to be of interest to a much wider readership. The author leans heavily on the philosophy and teachings of J. Krishnamurti and seeks to straddle the ‘known' as represented by the Quantum Theory, for instance and the ‘unknown', which enters the realm of spirituality and mysticism.

 

Though I positively lean towards the Quantum Theory, I found the book interesting, for its brave attempt to link two diametrically opposed lines of thought.
