Review :
"Jungerman has done us a great service. The book is useful and a good introduction to the topic." - C. Robert Mesle, author of Process Theology: A Basic Introduction "The author masterfully relates Whiteheadian ideas to modern physics and vice-versa. A conscientious and entertaining review of the broad sweep of physics history is blended with insightful connections to spiritual aspects of process philosophy." - Geoffrey Chew, University of California, Berkeley "Jungerman provides a systematic and fascinating overview of modern physics, with many accessible examples, illustrating many of the major results of the 'new' physics, and does so in a way that carefully illustrates how process-relational themes permeate the field in many ways that are generally neglected or masked by efforts to translate the language into classical Newtonian forms." - Timothy E. Eastman, Plasmas International
