"Parapsychology in the Twenty-First Century: Essays on the Future of Psychical Research" edited by Michael A. Thalbourne and Lance Storm

"Parapsychology should have become an accepted scientific field of research by now. Nevertheless, there is great resistance to the findings of parapsychological research as well as to the research itself, despite the strength of the evidence.

This collection of essays focuses on the future of psychical research. One essay speculates about a future where psychic phenomena are studied in every university. Another identifies 10 areas of potential difficulty facing researchers. Other essays indicate areas where conclusions may need re-examination and refinement and present possibilities for future innovative approaches. Some of the areas of study covered include altered states of consciousness, ESP, meta-analysis, the theory of psychopraxia, and sociological and phenomenological issues."
