An acclaimed physicist takes us on a fascinating journey as he examines shamanism in the light of modern science. "Breaks down barriers between modern science and a mystical worldview".--Publishers Weekly. Wolf is the author of the American Book Award-winning Taking the Quantum Leap.
Journeying through the shamanistic world, from the Himalayas to the jungles of Peru, Fred Alan Wolf encountered strange phenomena--natural healing, firewalking, shape-shifting, near-death and out-of-body experiences, visions of the past and future, time traveling, and lucid dreaming-that seemingly could not be reconciled with his training as a theoretical physicist.
