Synchronicity and other stuff?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
What amazed me about this book - apart from the excellent writing and obvious literary skills of Weismann - was the way the author brought seemingly disparate ideas and themes together: choral music and sanitation; unusual psychological syndromes and military service. There's an endless imagination drawn on here - maybe a bit clunkily at times - and this is one of Weismann's overarching themes: the importance of imagination. I enjoyed this - and will keep on dreaming.
