Summary: Stellar work.
Review:
I read this book many years ago, and it made a lasting impression on me as one of the most erudite, clear explanations of cosmology, consciousness, the place of high energy physics in the scheme of things I've ever read.
Itzhak Bentov has a clear grasp of reality and makes a concise explanation of his view in terminology that is easily understood by anyone with a decent vocabulary. I highly recommend this book--particularly for spiritual seekers. Joseph H. Pierre

Summary: Physics for the non quantum mind
Review: A truely amazing book. The author put complicated physics of the universe in everyday terms. The experiments are something that anyone can try and prove for himself what the author is saying.

Summary: Way to clever or way to obtuse
Review: Hello,
I read this book - three times - and obviously didn't get it. Far from being a revelation it kept begging the question, how can works like this get published? and moreover, we wlecomed with such acclaim? Maybe it's because Itzhak Bentov is such a nice guy, maybe its because some people prefer mystical speculation and opinion to anything else, do I know why? haven't got a clue. Anyway, it's sitting there on my bookshelf ready to be read again, someday. Meanwhile, i'll just speculate on more mundane things. Regards, Martyn R Jones

Summary: Stopping Time
Review: I can't even imagine how brilliant Bentov was, because he explains the Nature of Things so clearly, intuitively and humorously for the physics- and math-impaired that it boggles my mind. And he also very gently and humorously explains those mystical connections, synchronicities and the quirky nature of time. It's the kind of abstract but accessible knowledge that opens spiritual doors. And even though theoretical physics has advanced significantly since Bentov died, his thinking still holds up quite nicely. What a tour de force. My copy is dog-eared from all the times I've visited and revisited this book, and I'm happy to have this forum to express my admiration.

Summary: Wow
Review: I found this book fascinating and relatively clear and easy to follow. Although the author is not a physicist, he did review his work with a number of them as he wrote and the result is a book about physics, creation, oneness, and consciousness that is both fun and tremedously informative to read. I highly recommend it to spiritual seekers and budding scientists alike.

Summary: A point of view...a weltangchaung ...really...
Review: I readed it twice, and in my mind there are less questions than before...I recommended to any open mind...and even to cloused ones, this kind of books make one a better human being...

Summary: A Scientist with a Heart!
Review: Itzhak Bentov's Stalking the Wild Pendulum should be required reading...not for high school or college students but rather the corporate funded materialist scientists who still promote a mechanistic, three dimensional world view completely devoid of compassion, humor, and more importantly spirit. Itzhak had all of these sorely lacking qualities which is evident throughout S.T.W.P. Tragically, he died in the DC-10 crash at O'Hare airport back in the late '70's. Buy this book not only in his honor but also in hopes to spark a much needed spiritual re-birth in science.

Summary: Stopping Time
Review: One minor (okay major) problem with this book- how do you read a book that tells you that you can stare at your watch until you stop time, and take it seriously? The author actually, literally, suggests that you can stop time by staring at your watch. Was anyone successful?

Summary: Exploring Realities as States of Consciousness
Review: STALKING THE WILD PENDULUM is a truly classic book in the field of consciousness that's lots of fun to read! Packed with cartoons, graphs, and diagrams, this book entertains as it educates. Scientific theories and experimental results are presented in plain English that clearly show how different realities are actually different states of consciousness... and how we can move from one to another. One of my all-time favorite exercises on stopping time is described -- which helped me better understand how I'd done that when I was a teenager, and wondered if anyone else had ever seen time slow to a stop. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to understand the true nature of reality and consciousness. -- Cynthia Sue Larson
