Extra Sensory Perception (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780766139626)

Extra Sensory Perception is a book written by J.B. Rhine, a renowned American parapsychologist. The book is a comprehensive study of the phenomenon of ESP or extrasensory perception, which refers to the ability to perceive information through means other than the five senses. Rhine presents his research on ESP, including experiments conducted with participants who claimed to possess psychic abilities. He discusses the various types of ESP, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition, and explores the evidence for their existence. The book also delves into the history of ESP, tracing its roots in ancient cultures and examining its role in modern society. Rhine addresses the skepticism and criticism that ESP has faced from the scientific community and offers a rebuttal to these arguments. Overall, Extra Sensory Perception is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the paranormal or the mysteries of the human mind.1934. The work reported in this volume is the first fruit of the policy of naturalization of psychical research within the universities. This momentous study has three dimensions. Firstly, there are about three years during which experiments were conducted until they reached a huge number. Secondly, the cooperation, observation and critical judgment of many, both within and without the teaching staff of the psychological department of Duke University, have been applied to the experiments at various stages. Finally, the diversity of methods used, isolation of telepathy and clairvoyance from one another, and acquisition of data to test the hypotheses were noted.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
