Hard Cover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Numerous Photographs, Diagrams & Charts (illustrateur). First Edition. Dust Jacket Conditio, unclipped, small closed tear. 144 pages clean and tight. The idea that the human mind can transcend the five senses is not a new one, but the scientific exploration of that idea is new. This book tells the story of such exploration with its many bizarre twists and turns. The opening chapter, "In Search of the Unknown," charts the scope of the survey, which includes such diverse phenomena as thought transference, or telepathy; psychokinesis, the ability to affect the material world by mental force; clairvoyance, the ability of the mind to receive knowledge unknown to any other person; and precognition, or knowledge of events in the future. The author describes some of the famous experiments in the history of psychical research. These include the "Verity case" in which a man transmitted his own image to his fiancee and her family; the clairvoyant drawings of Mrs. Upton Sinclair; and the numerous tests of psychokinesis and other physical phenomena conducted by the controversial British investigator Harry Price. He also examines modern trends of psychical research, including some startling results from the Soviet Union, which suggest that the mysterious powers of the mind may be even more varied than previously supposed. The many photographs and diagrams-plus five specially commissioned paintings-complement the text and illustrate some of the remarkable psychic events in history. Size: 4to.
