Have you ever had a premonition, the feeling of being watched, or a telepathic experience? Renowned biologist Rupert Sheldrake explores the intricacies of the mind and discovers that our perceptive abilities are stronger than many of us could have imagined.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
You will certainly never take the miracle of the senses for granted again -- Dr James Le Fanu * The Tablet * Sheldrake uses many case studies, along with scientific theory, to support his research, and the result is, quite literally, mind-expanding * The Good Book Guide * Dr Rupert Sheldrake continues to chart a new course in our understanding ...The application of this understanding has the potential to heal our world -- Deepak Chopra, M.D. [Sheldrake's] genius lies in his taking well-attested anecdotal phenomena like telepathy, the sense of being stared at and anticipating alarm calls, then puts them to the scientific test. In doing so his work not only extends - indeed stretches - the mind, it extends science in a new and creative direction. * David Lorimer, Scientific and Medical Network Review *
