An Introduction to Parapsychology

A university-level textbook on the science of parapsychology. Dr Irwin outlines the origins of parapsychological research and critically reviews investigations of extrasensory perception, psychokinesis, poltergeist phenomena, near-death and out-of-body experiences, and "survival" of death. Also, criticisms by the sceptical are presented, and the status of parapsychology as a scientific enterprise is assessed.
