Recenzii
"This book does justice to some important areas for scientific investigation. It addresses the scientific nature of beliefs and even takes a swipe at the influence of global neo-liberalism on science. This book is a winner on so many levels and a must read for not only students and researchers, but anyone with the remotest interest in Parapsychology." Bryan Bonaparte, University of Westminster, UK
"The current edition.. has come along well... with regards to its content and can be recommended to students, budding researchers, and lay readers who are curious (and serious) about delving into any of the paranormal-related topics it discusses."
Bryan J. Williams, Journal of the Society for Psychical Research
