Wider Horizons: Explorations in Science and Human Experience is an indispensable guide to the concerns of the Scientific and Medical Network over its first twenty-five years. Founded in 1973 by a distinguished group of scientists concerned that scientific and medical students were unconsciously absorbing an impoverished materialistic view of humanity and the universe, the Network has consistently sought to broaden the framework of understanding in science, medicine and education, arguing for the intellectual plausibility of a wider and deeper world-view.

Wider Horizons, is essential reading for Members, and all those who share the Network's interests and concerns. It contains an introduction to and history of the Network, with contributions from the President, George Blaker and others closely involved with its inception and growth to its current international outreach. In the five chapters that follow the editors skilfully weave individual contributions into the overall theme to give an insight into the central developments in the field over the last 25 years.

The forty contributors include: Sir Kelvin Spencer, Dr. Peter Leggett, Dr. Willis Harman, Prof. Ilya Prigogine, Prof. Henryk Skolimowksi, Dr. Ervin Laszlo, Dr. Mae-Wan Ho, Prof. Theodore Roszak, Prof. Ravi Ravindra, Ken Wilber, Prof. Charles Tart, Prof. David Fontana, Dr. Larry Dossey, James Robertson, Dr. Richard Tarnas, Dr. Peter Fenwick and Dr. Robert Muller.

A key feature of the book is an annotated bibliography of about fifty of the most significant books to appear in our fields of interest in the last 25 years, edited by Dr. Julian Candy. The book also contains a full list of Network public meetings held since 1973.
