Synopsis

It was sheer chance that I encountered David Bohm's writing in 1958 ... I knew nothing about him. What struck me about his work and prompted my initial letter was his underlying effort to seek for some larger sense of reality, which seemed a very humanized search. - Charles Biederman, from the foreword of the book
This book marks the beginning of a four thousand page correspondence between Charles Biederman, founder of Constructivism in the 1930s, and David Bohm the prestigious physicist known for his interpretation of quantum theory. Available for the first time, we are given a rare opportunity to read through and engage in a remarkable transatlantic, intellectual discussion on art and science, creativity and theory.

- Publishers Weekly
In the Bohm-Biederman Correspondence we find revolutionary minds at work, seeking to close the hiatus between art and science, and more deeply to understand nature as a fundamentally creative process and what this implies for responsible human action, whether as artists, scientists, or in the creative living of our lives..
-Gordon Globus, Emeritus Professor, UC Irvine
These letters address with passion, vision and a sense of urgency, crises in science and art which we still face today. Here is an opportunity not only to encounter the exciting ideas of two creative thinkers, but to witness the unfolding of those ideas through a dynamic dialogue.
