Product Description
Product Description
Guy Lyon Playfair has produced an overwhelming body of evidence indicating that there is indeed a special connection between twins - much of it published here for the first time. Examples include: a man staggers and slumps into a chair clutching his chest at the exact moment that his twin brother - 30 miles away - is shot dead; a four-year-old girl burns her hand and simultaneously, her sister suddenly develops a blister of the same size in exactly the same place. Playfair also makes a bold attempt to provide a new way of looking at the mystery of telepathy. Indeed, as he explains in clear, non-technical language, scientists may already have come close to solving the mystery of the twin collection - and telepathy in general - without realising it. As Stanley Krippner, one of today's leading authorities on all aspects of psychical research puts it: 'Twin Telepathy' reads like and intriguing detective story. Those who read the book may never view twins, or the cosmos, in the same way again'.

Readable, solid, informative.

The author provides what appears to be a quite comprehensive survey of what has been studied and written to date about telepathy between twins, mostly identical twins. He convincingly argues that the scientific study of telepathy should focus on identical twins because such people have the closest and longest-lasting bonds, which have been shown to be conducive to telepathy. As a physicist, I was impressed by the (non-physicist) author's outline of a possible basis for a physical theory for psychic phenomena like telepathy. Playfair's style is extremely readable, clear, and forceful. He pulls no punches in castigating what he regards as the unscientific attitudes and actions of certain (named) people.
