Reviews

"Authoritative and accessible review of the state of scientific research into paranormal phenomena... Anyone seeking something more sophisticated than the usual mud-slinging should buy this book." -- Robert Matthews New Scientist "Can we expect a fair discussion from such a provocative lead [title and cover illustration]? Yes, we can!" -- Stanley Schmidt Journal of Scientific Exploration "The debate is pursued in a polite and refreshingly reasonable style." -- Donald J. West Journal of the Society for Psychical Research "Refreshingly insists that psi must not be written off because it is not cononant with presently known laws." -- Hugh Montefiori Christian Parapsychologist
