Just when we thought we knew everything there is to know about our own bodies and their responses, we can have new and surprising experiences engendered by simple little tricks. This learned, encyclopedic, and well-referenced examination fully realizes the authors' aim of establishing these phenomena as a genre of folklore in its own right. --Janet E.
