Argues that quantum as well as classical physics is necessary to explain the human body, and discusses the human skeleton, nutrition, protein structure, DNA, reproduction, the senses, respiration, the mind, and death
From Library Journal
Wolf, a physicist, is the author of Taking the Quantum Leap ( LJ 11/15/81) and Star Wave ( LJ 2/1/85). He believes that "all the body's processes, including all its intelligence" can be understood through quantum physics, hence the title. Early chapters use quantum physics to analyze the body's blood, bones, sight, etc. These prepare the reader for later chapters, more philosophical and speculative in nature, where Wolf discusses healing, illness, stress, and the ego/id from the same perspective. In those sections readers must stretch to grasp his provocative viewpoint on mind-body interaction. Recommended for comprehensive collections. Michael D.
