Format:Paperback
This book, like dr Radins previous work "the conscious universe" is a well written, well researched and entertaining book that sheds light on the truth behind the reality of psychic phenomena. But unlike other "new agey" or "spacey" books he backs his claims up with facts and hard data that is undeniable. He also does not fall into the trap of other books on psi phenomena of taking it to far and going off on flights of fancy. He says "there is proof for psychic abilities, but that does not mean that aliens etc" and while he does nod towards the fact that large scale psi-effects may be possible, he does not take it out of proportion or make any claims that are unsubstanciated. He remains level headed and scientific throughout the book without boring the reader with scientific jargon and graphs. It is the best balanced, most sensible and best written book in its genre and i cannot recommend it enough.

Format:Paperback
You have to admire the integrity and courage of Dean Radin, his willingness to break with scientific convention and risk ostracism. In this book he puts forward an indisputable case for the reality of the 'paranormal', which would surely convince any open-minded person. Not only that, this book is very readable and entertaining. A must read for all the sceptics out there!

Entangled Minds: Extrasensory experiences in a quantum reality, by Dean Radin, Simon and Schuster, 2006, 368 ff.
A quantum interpretation of psi
By Howard A. Jones
Although Dean Radin is not a quantum physicist per se, his background in physics, electrical engineering and psychology and a decade working for AT&T Bell Laboratories enable him to write with authority and clarity about quantum processes. The `entanglement' of the title originates from a term that Erwin Schrödinger used to describe the interdependent relationship between subatomic particles and their associated energies, irrespective of their spatial or temporal separation.
Radin, and many other scientists with some expertise in quantum physics, believe that the relationship between particles on the micro scale also mirrors and probably directly affects a similar relationship between the seemingly separate consciousnesses of human individuals. The experimental data also suggest that this entanglement even applies to human consciousness with plants and animals. For nearly two decades now, Radin has investigated the phenomena of parapsychology or psi described here. Fuller details of the investigation of the phenomena themselves, without all the quantum theory, are available in Radin's earlier book, The Conscious Universe.
In this book, as indicated by the subtitle, Radin goes into some of the theoretical scientific background reasoning that has led to a rational, empirical verification of the existence of psi and its explanation in terms of quantum physics. The book is written in very accessible language with a minimum of jargon but inevitably, if readers are to understand why many scientists (mostly physicists and psychologists, rarely biologists) are so excited by these discoveries, some knowledge of the fundamentals of quantum physics is desirable. This doesn't need a degree in the subject but, if they are to get the best out of this well-written treatise, readers should be familiar with the idea of complementarity of particles and wave energy (photons and electrons are both waves and particles at the same time), action at a distance (like apples on trees being attracted to Earth by gravity), space-time invariance of properties (particles interact independent of their separation by distance or time), and the fundamental difference between the deterministic, predictable world of Newtonian physics (like billiard balls on a table) and the probabilistic world of quantum physics (where we can only express the likelihood of a result and never define all the properties of the particles exactly at any moment); all these terms are explained by Radin here.
There is a comprehensive list of Endnotes with references and a good Index.
Dr Howard A. Jones is the author of The Thoughtful Guide to God (2006) and The Tao of Physics (2008), both published by O Books of Winchester, UK.

Psi essential reading.
This is a persuasive bridge between Psi and Science and satisfies the demands of psi-sceptics. For that very reason, it has some necessary tedium that readers with a more anecdotal... Read more
