“Extraordinary Knowing: Science, Skepticism, and the Inexplicable Powers of the Human Mind” by Elizabeth Lloyd Mayer

"In 1991, when her daughter’s rare, hand-carved harp was stolen, Lisby Mayer’s familiar world of science and rational thinking turned upside down. After the police failed to turn up any leads, a friend suggested she call a dowser—a man who specialized in finding lost objects. With nothing to lose—and almost as a joke—Dr. Mayer agreed. Within two days, and without leaving his Arkansas home, the dowser located the exact California street coordinates where the harp was found. Deeply shaken, yet driven to understand what had happened, Mayer began the fourteen-year journey of discovery that she recounts in this mind-opening, brilliantly readable book. Her first surprise: the dozens of colleagues who’d been keeping similar experiences secret...>>

“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...>>
