While this field is viewed by some as a fringe science, parapsychology remains a popular and fascinating subject worthy of investigation and consideration. \u003ci\u003eProbing the Paranormal: Exploring Modern Parapsychology\u003c\/i\u003e investigates the full range of topics that have for centuries mystified all humans--a diverse world of experiences comprising a mysterious and unexplained field of mental, psychological, and spiritual perception. Regardless of whether readers believe events claimed to be paranormal are real or fake, they will find the information in this book enthralling, thought-provoking, and surprising. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book begins with an overview that explains what paranormal phenomena are--and what they aren't--and explores what parapsychologists claim is the underlying cause. Readers will learn about how the paranormal was seen and explained in previous eras, parapsychology's relationship with mainstream science, and the three main areas of parapsychological study--ESP, mind-matter interaction, and life after death. The chapters provide historical and cultural context to the discussions of specific phenomenon; describe famous cases, experiments, and research methods; and examine criticisms and alternate explanations offered by mainstream science. The book also considers the treatment of paranormal phenomena in popular culture and media today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e J.
