[Author's Note for the books under the them of 'Buddhism and Science' from his Introduction of the Book]

- Such claims have been commonly made over the course of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, as the most cursory glance through the burgeoning bibliography of Buddhism and Science will demonstrate. A random selection of a dozen recent titles (excluding books and articles simply entitled “Buddhism and Science”) might include “Time in Madhyamika Buddhism and Quantum Physics,” Psychotherapy and Buddhism: Toward an Integration, “Quantum Mechanics and Compassion,” Zen and the Brain: Toward an Understanding of Meditation and Consciousness, “Emptiness and Relativity,” Zen Buddhism and Mod ern Physics: Morality and Religion in the New Millennium, “Galaxies and Śūnyatā,” Two Views of Mind: Abhidharma and Brain Science, “The Relevance of the Buddhist Theory of Dependent Co-origination to Cognitive Science,” “Atom and Anattā,” “Karma, Rebirth, and Genetics,” Einstein and Buddha: The Parallel Sayings, and “A Middle Way: Meditation in the Treatment of Compulsive Eating.”
