In Science, Order and Creativity, David Bohm and F. David Peat argue that science has lost its way in recent years and needs to go beyond a narrow and fragmented view of nature and embrace a wider holistic view that restores the importance of creativity and communication for all humanity - not just scientists. The result of a close collaboration by one of the 20th century's greatest physicists and thinkers, David Bohm, with leading science writer F. David Peat, provides a rare combination of profound reflection and clear exposition that can be appreciated by anyone concerned with science and its importance in our lives. This new edition includes a new preface and an extended additional chapter by Peat which draws upon further discussions with David Bohm before the latter's death in 1992. A fascinating diagnosis and considered proposal for a cure for science's ills, it is also very accessible entry point to the work of David Bohm. Bohm and Peat contend that science has lost its bearings in the last century in favour of a narrow, abstracted, fragmented approach to nature and reality. Tracing the history of science, Bohm and Peat offer intriguing new insights into how scientific theories come into being, how to eliminate blocks of creativity and how science can lead to a deeper understanding of society, the human condition and the human mind itself.

David Bohm was educated at Pennsylvania State College and took his PhD at the University of California, Berkeley in 1943. The forty years of research into physics and philosophy on which this book is based have included research at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley, California and posts at Princeton, the University of Säo Paolo, The Technion, Israel, Bristol University, and Birkbeck College, London where he was Professor of Theoretical Physics until bis retirement. David Bohm died in 1992. His previous publications include Changing Consciousness (with Mark Edwards), Quantum Theory, Ending of Time. Bohm Beiderman Correspondence, The Limits 0/ Thought (with Krishnamurti), On Creativity, On Dialogue, Quantum Implications, Thought as a System, Causality and Modern Physics, Unfolding Meaning (with Donald Factor, editor), Special Theory 0/ Relativity , Wholeness and Implicate Order, and The Undioided Universe (with Basil Hiley), all published by Routledge. F. David Peat was born in Liverpool, England where he obtained his PhD . He taught at Queens University, Kingston, Canada and carried out research in theoretical physics at the National Research Council of Canada as well as acting as a consultant to th e Science Council of Canada. In 1971 he took a sabbatical with David Bohm and continued a collaboration until Bohm 's death.
