“Parapsychology: The Controversial Science” by Richard S. Broughton

"Can the existence of ESP, psychokinesis, poltergeists, reincarnation, and out-of-body experiences be scientifically verified? According to Dr. Richard S. Broughton, Director of Research at the world-renowned Institute of Parapsychology, hundreds of experiments in parapsychology have yielded results that simply cannot be ignored—and here he presents the first definitive layperson’s introduction to the body of scientific evidence that has been compiled in the study of psi phenomena. In this impressively documented work, Dr. Broughton illuminates the history and evolution of parapsychology and directly addresses the raging controversy over its very existence as a science.

“The Psychic Wars: Parapsychology in Espionage — And Beyond” by Elmar R. Gruber

"For more than twenty-five years, the intelligence services on both sides in the Cold War funded and encouraged research into parapsychology. Both the CIA and KGB devoted quantities of time and money to find ways in which psychic warfare could be carried out. In this fascinating assessment of this research, the experiments and programmes are described in detail, and this account of hitherto secret work reveals how it laid the foundation for even more sensational developments. Drawing on research from around the world, Dr Gruber explains how parapsychologists are bringing their work to the forefront of scientific research as the phenomena of extrasensory perception, like remote viewing, telepathy, clairvoyance and precognition, are subjected to rigorous...>>

“Psychic Sleuths: ESP and Sensational Cases” edited by Joe Nickell

"Do psychics have special powers, allowing them to succeed where ordinary police work fails? How often do the police actually enlist psychics in solving crimes, and what do they really think of these paranormal "experts"? These are just some of the questions discussed in this illuminating study of those who supposedly use extrasensory powers to help solve crimes. Famed paranormal investigator Joe Nickell assembled a psychic "task force" of experienced researchers — investigative writers, professional magicians, private detectives, and paranormal investigators — and challenged them to examine the claims of a famous paranormal crimebuster. Among the "psychic sleuths" examined are Greta Alexander, Dorothy Allison, Gerard Croiset, Peter Hurkos, Phil Jordan, Rosemarie Kerr, Noreen Reiner, and...>>

“Captain of My Ship, Master of My Soul: Living With Guidance” by F. Holmes Atwater

"Have you ever looked back, awestruck at the infinite number of seemingly random choices and events that led you to where you are—and more importantly, who you are? In this book, F. Holmes "Skip" Atwater—who, as an army lieutenant, took the initiative that resulted in the creation of the remote-viewing intelligence program now known as STARGATE—looks at the "coincidences" that led him from childhood out-of-body explorations to army counter-intelligence operations to sessions with consciousness pioneer Robert A. Monroe. The result is a fascinating look at the way spiritual guidance works in our lives."...>>
