Editorial Reviews

These 14 interviews from Toms's National Public Radio series New Dimensions include, as Bernie Siegel states in his forward, some of ``the foremost thinkers in the fields of science, spirituality, creativity, ecology, individuality, cosmology, consciousness, and evolution.'' Conversations with Matthew Fox ( The Coming of the Cosmic Christ , HarperCollins, 1988), Marsha Sinetar ( Living Happily Ever After, Villard: Random, 1990), Ram Dass (a familiar voice from the 1960s), theoretical physicist David Bohm, and Merlin Stone ( When God Was a Woman , HBJ, 1978), are the highlights. Toms is a profoundly sensitive interviewer, fully attuned to his subjects' ideas, and deftly responsive to their current concerns. This collection provides an excellent glimpse at the ``leading edge'' for public and academic libraries. Highly recommended.--Marcia G. Fuchs, Guil ford Free Lib., Ct.
