The Hundredth Monkey takes its title from philosopher Ron
Amundson's expose of the "Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon," a claim
about collective consciousness. Forty-three essays by thirty-nine
authors, including Isaac Asimov, Martin Gardner, Carl Sagan, Ray
Hyman, Paul Kurtz, and James Randi, examine aspects of paranormal
and fringe-science beliefs from an authoritative, scientific point
of view. The penetrating and entertaining essays, many with timely
postscripts, are grouped into nine categories:- Understanding Human
Need - Examining Popular Claims- Encouraging Critical Thinking -
Medical Controversies- Evaluating the Anomalous Experience -
Astrology- Considering Parapsychology - Crashed Saucer Claims-
Controversies Within ScienceScientists and scholars discuss the
burden of skepticism and the delicate balance between a creative
openness to new ideas and the relentless scrutiny of new claims. A
classic source book for scientifically responsible explanations of
controversies, hoaxes, bizarre mysteries, and popular cultural
myths.
