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 magnificient book is the
most comprehensive and summary study of anecdotal evidence for the
existence of psychic phenomena ever published. No serious book
collection on the subject, no matter how small, can lack this
long-awaited title. The author discusses the numerous case
histories in plain language. With the experience developed during a
long career, she then is able to sort 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. Results of her
study were found to be entirely consistent with the findings of
laboratory research. In addition, they give a fascinating
""picture"" of the psychic element in human nature that has been
painted on no other canvas. An extensive list of references in
appended. There are five tables and a thorough index.
