Full Description
Long among the foremost figures in parapsychological research, Dr. Rhine has at last provided a report on her over forty years of investigations into the apparently psychic experiences of an enormous variety of ordinary people. This magnificent book is the most comprehensive and summary study of anecdotal evidence for the existence of psychic phenomena ever published.
The author discusses the numerous case histories in plain language and sorts them into types--an important advance for researchers and teachers--noting such features as the form in which extrasensory information was perceived and the mental processes that seem to have been involved. Most of the chapters are devoted to specific phenomena, such as general ESP, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, precognition and contact with survivors.
Dr. Rhine's findings bring to light many new human interconnections and offer a wealth of new directions for laboratory-based work. An extensive list of references is appended. There are five tables and a thorough index.
