Reviews

An impressive book that reflects the erudition and dedication of its author It provides its readers with a philosophical as well as a historical perspective on the scientific attempt to understand reports of phenomena that appear to transcend mainstream science's understanding of time, space, and energy. In addition, it provides a masterful overview of serious research programs involving telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, psychokinesis, and related topics. The Outline of Parapsychology demonstrates why this field of study is neither a superstition nor a pseudoscience, but a frontier science with profound implications for the understanding of Nature.--Stanley Krippner
