Thirty Years of Psychical Research: Being a Treatise on Metapsychics (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025482941)

"Thirty Years of Psychical Research Being a Treatise on Metapsychics" is a monumental scientific exploration into the realm of parapsychology and unexplained phenomena. Authored by Nobel Prize-winning physiologist Charles Richet, this comprehensive work presents decades of rigorous investigation into subjects that challenge the boundaries of conventional science, including telepathy, clairvoyance, and the physical manifestations of mediumship.

Richet introduces the term "metapsychics" to describe the study of phenomena that appear to operate outside of known physical laws. Throughout the text, he categorizes and analyzes a vast array of case studies, documenting experiments conducted with some of the most famous mediums of the early twentieth century. By applying a clinical and analytical framework to the supernatural, Richet seeks to determine the reality of these occurrences while maintaining a commitment to the scientific method.

This treatise remains a significant historical document in the field of psychical research, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of biology, psychology, and the occult. It provides an invaluable resource for those interested in the history of science and the enduring human quest to understand the mysteries of the mind and the unseen world.
