An Introduction to Parapsychology, 5th ed. Paperback – Illustrated, March 7, 2007

Excellent and balanced view of the state of the art in parapsychological research. Associated with the University of Edenburgh's Koestler Parapsychology Unit, it covers the basic areas of research and results to date. Was a student/researcher of the first Chair of the KPU (Robert Morris) when he was at UC Santa Barbara in the mid to late 1970's, about 8 years before he became the Chair. His tireless search for what could be real vs all of the bunk, bought my respect for the field. This text is from 2 current and prominent researchers. A must for anyone interested in the subject, whether you are a "believer" or not.

Being a text book, and a wonderful one at that, this book for me, proved to be a challenge. A positive challenge though. While quite a bit of it was "over my head" that certainly did not detur me from continuing this book. This book is a great refernce material, and I look forward to going back and reviewing the areas that I highlighted, that were of specific interest to me.I gave this book five stars and, as previously mentioned, while it was a bit challenging, it is a worthwhile read, indeed! :-)

This is one of the few such textbooks of its kind and provides a grounded, reliable, and accessible overview of the topic--a a rarity of intellectual inquiry. A very good read for laypeople, as well.

In depth study of Parapsychology. Sometimes a little hard to interpret. If your not scholarly, probably not the book for you.

This book is pretty dry. The author writes using unnecessarily confusing sentence structure. The subject matter is interesting, but sometimes hard to grasp due to the author’s writing style.

Includes many aspects including the source & history of PP. Especially my wanted subject which was telekinesis.

I rated this book 5 stars because it is a good introductory resource to whoever is interested to know more about Parapsychology but has 0 knowledge of it so far. Experiments and histories are illustrated clearly. Very interesting read!
