Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Personal odysseys through shamanic rites lead Wolf to posit links between the Shaman's experience and the "new physics." A captivating, lucid quest for awareness.
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.


From Library Journal

Wolf, a theoretical physicist and author of The Quantum Leap ( LJ 11/15/81), focuses on his personal involvement with shamanism. He describes his experiences as a participant in shamanic ceremonies around the world and endeavors to explain shamanic practices in terms of quantum physics. He supports his contention with nine hypotheses that link the two seemingly divergent practices. Unfortunately, his narrative is extremely disjointed and skips back and forth between unrelated episodes. While he includes many fascinating descriptions of shamanic rituals, his finished product is basically a book of reminiscences and musings. His study may be of value to libraries seeking books on personal spiritual experience, but its inherent subjectivity is a limiting factor.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic book on shamanism -- a real page-turner!, April 13, 1999
This book stands out as one of the best books on shamanism I've ever seen. The Eagle's Quest is remarkable because it maps concepts from modern physics into the ancient shamanistic world... all the while following the Wolf's very personal true story of his quest for deeper understanding. Because Wolf really wishes to know what's going on in the universe, his book is thorough in its investigations of old world shamanism. This is one of the best books I've ever read combining spirituality and physics: it's full of useful information and well-written. I love all of Fred Alan Wolf's books, and this one is especially enjoyable to me, because it was truly written from his heart. This book is a classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding background of shamanism, February 8, 1999
By jxj@arjunaventures.com (N. Barrington, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This book presents the occult and the practice of shamanism in a very understandable format. The book presents the parallel of quantum physics and the metaphysical in very understandable terms. I have spent time with Peruvian shamans in the mountains and look forward to spending time in the amazon. I would very much like to communicate with Dr. Wolf to discuss his experiences. Dr. Wolf, thanks for a great and enlightening book: please write or call, JJ 847.304.1757

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, August 27, 2001
By Grant Trevithick "texan89" (Long Valley, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Dr. Wolf has accomplished what many cannot, he has written a highly interesting book about his journey to discover the parallelism between quantum physics and the knowledge / wisdom of the ancient shamans -- and has done so without getting lost in the scientific jargon. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it for those who are interested in joining their scientific interest with their spiritual journey.
