Product Review
In this survey of parapsychology, Dr. Richard S. Broughton addresses the misconceptions that lead people to label the field as pseudo science. This is a perfect introduction for the lay reader, avoiding the extremes of spectacle and jargon while giving an accurate account of the current state of parapsychology.
From Publishers Weekly
If claims for ESP, clairvoyance, mind-over-matter and other psychic phenomena are valid, "the so-called laws of physics will have to be rewritten," maintains the author. His careful, low-key survey of modern parapsychology ranges from psychic dreams and apparitions to out-of-body experiences, reincarnation and investigations of ghosts and hauntings. Broughton, research director of the Institute for Parapsychology in North Carolina, presents an impressive array of documented evidence suggesting that psychic phenomena may be authentic. As a state-of-the-art snapshot of contemporary research, this report should appeal to the open-minded reader. Broughton contends that future research will demonstrate psi to be an unusual but practical human ability.
