Una visión panorámica de la percepción extrasensorial, la psicoquinesia, la adivinación. ¿Ha tenido alguna vez una experiencia extracorporal? ¿Ha compartido un sueño? ¿Ha visto algún fantasma? ¿Ha vaticinado el futuro? ¿Ha presenciado el fenómeno potergeist? Hoy casi todo el mundo acepta la existencia de fenómenos paranormales en alguna de sus manifestaciones: percepción extrasensorial, telepatía, apariciones, etc. Brian Inglis presenta en este libro una amena y reveladora guía de las múltiples variedades que componen la dimensión paranormal, utilizando para ello una verdadera profusión de fuentes históricas y experimentales. Además de mostrar la interconexión entre diversos fenómenos paranormales, Brian Inglis describe prácticas mágicas, como la cirugía psíquica, habla de los estados alterados de conciencia y alude a fenómenos extraños e inexplicables como la combustión espontánea y los rayos globulares. Unas breves notas biográficas sobre los médiums y los investigadores psíquicos más famosos completan esta apasionante y completísima enciclopedia, que se ha convertido en lectura esencial para cuantos se interesan por el tema.… (more)

It tells the story of Edward VIII's abdication. I found the book unfailingly interesting, and, covering, as it does, an event occurring just before my beginning what I consider intelligent and full awareness of "the news" I felt it very worthwhile to read. I usually think of the annexation of Austria in March of 1938 as the date when I began to systematically follow the news--I was 9 at the time. This book is rich in its study of the principals in the abdication crisis. I confess I like Stanley Baldwin and I approve of the way he handled the matter. Can one seriously say that things worked out other than for the best? The British monarchy is a fascinating study.… (more)

This is a superb historical overview of paranormal phenomena (and cultural response to it) in Western civilization from antiquity until 1914; highly recommended.
