Reviews of the first edition: "A well-chosen set of research reports in experimental parapsychology...informative"-Choice; "at last!...excellent...most interesting, informative, and provocative. ...the spectacular results will excite a student's interest and thus prepare well for lectures on related group studies or relevant theory."-Journal of Parapsychology; "a useful volume to have at hand"-Journal of the Society for Psychical Research; "intriguing...a useful resource"-Contemporary Psychology; "excellent...highly recommended"-SSC Booknews; "worthwhile...useful"-Fate; "it is the only source-book of its kind"-Light. This expanded and revised text includes thirteen experimental reports (five new to this edition) and seven review articles involving meta-analysis and the assessment of evidence in specific areas of psi research. The author provides a representative sample of the extensive literature in the controversial field of parapsychology and presents a few basic experiments illustrating various procedures and broadly reflecting the major trends of psi research. Possible experimental procedures, cumulative evidence showing the replicability of individual experiments, and promising areas of psi research are also discussed.
