Karl H. Pribram
"...this book should rapidly gain recognition as a groundbreaking
work of the first order and an indispensable text in the areas
Pribram covers....equally indispensable as a major first step
toward the integration of brain, mind, and universe into a single
comprehensible system."
—World Futures"Although most investigators are aware of the problem
and of the importance of attaining a resolution, few have risen to
the challenge, and even fewer have done so quite as strikingly as
Pribram."
—Contemporary Psychology
