Kort biografi
Fred Alan Wolf is a physicist, writer, and lecturer who earned his Ph.D. in theoretical physics at UCLA in 1963. He continues to write, lecture throughout the world, and conduct research on the relationship of quantum physics to consciousness. He is the National Book Award Winning author of Taking the Quantum Leap. He is a member of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Collegium of Scholars.Dr. Wolf has taught at the University of London, the University of Paris, the Hahn-Meitner Institute for Nuclear Physics in Berlin, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and San Diego State University in the United States. His work in quantum physics and consciousness is well known through his popular and scientific writing. He is the author of eleven books ( see page 3).
Dr. Wolf's fascination with the world of physics began one afternoon as a child at a local matinee, when the newsreel revealed the awesome power and might of the world's first atomic explosion. This fascination continued, leading Wolf to study mathematics and physics.
In 1963, he received his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from UCLA and began researching the field of high atmospheric particle behavior following a nuclear explosion. Wolf's inquiring mind has delved into the relationship between human consciousness, psychology, physiology, the mystical, and the spiritual. His investigations have taken him from intimate discussions with physicist David Bohm to the magical and mysterious jungles of Peru, from master classes with Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman to the high deserts of Mexico, from a significant meeting with Werner Heisenberg to the hot coals of a firewalk.
In academia, Dr. Wolf has challenged minds at San Diego State University, the University of Paris, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the University of London, Birkbeck College, and many other institutions of higher learning. Wolf is best known for his contributions through technical papers and popular books, but he is frequently in demand as a lecturer, keynote speaker, and consultant to industry and the media.
Wolf is well known for his simplification of the new physics and is perhaps best known as the author of Taking the Quantum Leap which, in 1982, was the recipient of the prestigious National Book Award for Science.
Former professor of physics at San Diego State University for twelve years, Dr. Wolf lectures, researches, and teaches worldwide. Dr. Wolf has also appeared as the resident physicist on The Discovery Channel's The Know Zone and on many radio talkshows and television shows across the United States and abroad.

I have no idea how accurate this little book is, as it's quite a few years old now, but I found it a lucid and thought-provoking introduction to quantum physics. Bob Toben's cartoons and captions provide a great visual basis for further quantum physics study, and while their concepts may be a little oversimplified for artistic purposes, each image corresponds to at least one, and sometimes several, explanatory notes. There, Fred Alan Wolfe, Ph.D. draws out some of the more essential points of quantum theory, clearly and concisely outlining the concepts without bogging down in miles---or light years---of scientific detail.… (mere)

Nueva vision del Universo
para descubrir nuestro mundo interior

A partir de las premisas desarrolladas en el documental iY tú qué sabes?, este
libro revolucionario nos enseña cómo superar los conflictos de la vida
cotidiana y encontrar el sentido de la vida, y de paso, nos muestra
un nuevo y excitante camino hacia la propia transformación y el éxito material
y espiritual.
La nueva alquimia de la vida revela cómo dar un salto cuántico en nuestra
existencia para crecer como personas felices, conscientes y autorrealizadas
Sobre el último trabajo del Dr. Fred Alan Wolf se ha dicho:
(Wayne Teasdale, escritor).
Una vez más, Fred Alan Wolf nos guia en un viaje hacia el futuro. Su experiencia
y sabiduría son palpables en su presentación de la estructura del amor en el
universo. Después de leer La nueva alquimia de la vida, tu universo jamás
volverá a ser el mismow. (Michael Toms, periodista científico).

It is precisely at the point where science and spirituality meet that we come to find the magical. A physicist who can take us there is Fred Alan Wolf, who as the author of nearly a dozen works that seek to abridge the divide between the two fields, has been described as a scientist on the “fringes of mainstream science”. In The Yoga of Time Travel, Wolf ventures into the realm of quantum physics by exploring black holes, parallel universes, and wormholes to entertain the idea that spiritual practices which dissolve the ego---such as meditation---can defeat time. Known for his good-natured and lucid writing, Wolf tackles even the most abstract scientific notions through riveting scenarios and friendly explanations. Brilliant and innovative, The Yoga of Time Travel suggests the importance of quantum physics’ role in the future of science, which through the help of open-minded thinkers such as Fred Alan Wolf, may come to join full arms with spirituality.… (mere)

I heard the audio CD version and it was great! The guy really gets into it and paints vivid pictures. The subject is way out there, but it much of what he says makes sense! I found it very interesting, and look forward to hearing more.
