The publishers have packed a lot of print on to the 186 pages of what used to be called a "slim volume", so that in reality it is a bigger book than meets the eye. Be prepared for substantial chapters on a number of intertwined topics, but be prepared also to enjoy this most instructive account of a complex encounter between civilisations and thought-worlds. Somehow Gosling also manages to tell us where physics in general has got to, in a manner which seems rather understandable to the nonexpert in that field. 1612-2941 Marburg Journal of Religion Vol 13 No 1 (2008)
