Response in the Living and Non-Living | Jagadish Bose

Paperback, epub


Response in the Living and Non-Living is the groundbreaking 1902 treatise by Indian scientist Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose. Predating modern biophysics, Bose used sensitive instruments of his own design to prove that plants and metals share a similar electrical response to stress, fatigue, and poison as animals.


This Distant Mirror edition includes an introduction by Paramahansa Yogananda, highlighting the spiritual implications of Bose’s scientific proof that the boundary between the living and the non-living is not as rigid as we once thought.
