Similar in approach to James Watson's The Double Helix, this book is an anecdotal account of Dr. Moss's pursuit of one of the holy grails of parapsychological research - bioenergy - using her world-famous work in electrical photography as background. It is a story full of colorful personalities, university politics, international controversies and intrigues, false leads and startling discoveries. Even the most skeptical reader will come away from The Body Electric with a healthy respect for the efforts of serious parapsychologist around the world to break through the boundaries of the known sciences to reach the sciences of tomorrow.
