Psychic phenomena, recorded throughout human history, remained a
mystery or a matter of faith rather than a subject of serious study
until scientists began to investigate them roughly a century and a
half ago. Systematic experimentation began with the work of J.B.
Rhine at Duke University, resulting in the publication of
Extra-Sensory Perception (1934) followed by Extra-Sensory
Perception After Sixty Years (1940). Rhine and researchers who came
after him struggled to present sufficient evidence to gain
scientific credibility for the existence of extrasensory abilities.
Yet despite tight experimental controls and numerous significant
results the subject remains controversial. Parapsychologists argue
that the impasse is not due to a lack of evidence but to the
challenge their claims pose to the worldview of science in general.
This comprehensive introduction to parapsychology, written by one
of the most notable investigators, provides an overview of its
concepts, theories and methods, and its controversies, problems and
prospects.
