In these inspiring lectures David Bohm explores Albert Einstein's celebrated Theory of Relativity that transformed forever the way we think about time and space. Yet for Bohm the implications of the theory were far more revolutionary both in scope and impact even than this. Stepping back from dense theoretical and scientific detail in this eye-opening work, Bohm describes how the notion of relativity strikes at the heart of our very conception of the universe, regardless of whether we are physicists or philosophers.

This superb text by David Bohm, formerly Princeton University and Emeritus Professor of Theoretical Physics at Birkbeck College, University of London, provides a formulation of the quantum theory in terms of qualitative and imaginative concepts that have evolved outside and beyond classical theory. Although it presents the main ideas of quantum theory essentially in nonmathematical terms, it follows these with a broad range of specific applications that are worked out in considerable mathematical detail. Addressed primarily to advanced undergraduate students, the text begins with a...

This study concerns the role of thought and knowledge. The author rejects the notion that our thinking processes neutrally report on what is out there in an objective world. He explores the manner in which thought actively participates in forming our perceptions, our sense of meaning and our daily actions. He suggests that collective thought and knowledge have become so automated that we are in large part controlled by them, with a subsequent loss of authenticity, freedom and order.

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...

Creativity is fundamental to human experience. In On Creativity David Bohm, the world-renowned scientist, investigates the phenomenon from all sides: not only the creativity of invention and of imagination but also that of perception and of discovery. This is a remarkable and life-affirming book by one of the most far-sighted thinkers of modern times.

David Bohm is considered one of the best physicists of all time. He also had a deep interest in human communication and creativity. Influential in both management and communication theory in what is known 'Bohm Dialogue', On Dialogue is both inspiring and pioneering. Bohm considers the origin and very meaning of dialogue, reflecting on what gets in the way of "true dialogue". He argues that dialogue, as a radical form of exploration that allows different views to be presented, leads us beyond the impasse of conflict and argument to the forming of new views. With a new foreword by Dean...

Jak vypadá čas? Proč si často někdo myslí, že ho nemá? Kdo vymyslel hodinky? Jak dlouho trvá TEĎ? Knížka o čase. O tom, jak se proměňuje jeho vnímání. Co trvá dlouho a co krátce. Co chceme stihnout a co většinu života děláme. Co to je čas pro žraloka, jepici nebo zeměkouli. Knížka o uvědomování si, které se vždycky děje TEĎ, a o tom jak neplýtvat vesmírem.

Co je to skica? Jak vznikne něco, co ještě před chvílí neexistovalo? Jak se rodí dílo, za jakých okolností a jak se nápad formuje? Co předchází skice a jak samotná situace vypadá? Výtvarník David Böhm se snaží ve své nové autorské knize tyto otázky zodpovědět prostřednictvím originálních kresebných experimentů, teoretických úvah a rozhovorů se současnými umělci (Jiří Kovanda, Vladimír Skrepl, Kateřina Šedá, Viktor Pivovarov, Alena Kotzmannová, Pavla Sceranková a Vladimír Kokolia).
