Another book about reality as the perception of the observer
is "Wave Without a Shore," by C. J. Cherryh, which I believe
was mentioned here some months ago.

To retard some of the flamage on another subject. . . .
In modern German, "ie" is pronounced like English "ee"
(so-called "long E"), while "ei" is pronounced like English
"eye" (so-called "long I").  That was the original source of
confusion.  The name "Leibowitz" is not necessarily German, of
course -- it may be Yiddish, or perhaps even Slavic for all I
know -- and even if it were, The Blessed Leibowitz and his
monks are free to pronounce his name any way they please.
My name is German and I very seldom pronouce the vowel sound
correctly, since it is hopeless to try to persuade native
English speakers to pronounce it right.  (And it's not even an
umlaut.)
