A tour de force. This extremely original and well-written book gives a much-needed context for the Buddhism-science 'dialogue.' Lopez provides all the background needed for those unfamiliar with Buddhism to understand the tradition and the perplexing scientific claims made for it. Given the wide interest in Buddhism these days among not just scholars but also scientists, historians, and educated lay readers, the book will have wide appeal. - Richard M. Jaffe, Duke University
