Product Description

Review

'A most valuable work and a lasting testimony to the author's remarkable contribution to the field. It covers a wide range of topics and so provides a very useful introduction for newcomers. For seasoned investigators it provides an intimacy and level and personal insight which a more pedagogical treatment would lack.' -- Bernard Carr, Scientific and Medical Network Review, Winter 2003 'Written for the lay person in down-to-earth language ... this book is for those who want a broad-brush of matters like the evidence for telepathy, near death experiences, survival research etc without having to plough through a century-high stack of scientific papers. A welcome introduction to human nature's further reaches.' -- Christian Parapsychologist 'Excellent and compelling reading.' -- Greenock Telegraph 'Absorbing and thought-provoking ... an unusual mixture of scientific textbook and autobiography.' -- Guy Lyon Playfair, Light 'A very refreshing and factual tone.' -- Breathe Magazine, Autumn 2002


Product Description

In facts, not fiction, this book presents the case for the paranormal. Changing the way we look at the universe is not easy, and requires a true openness to exploration and experiment. Professor Ellison suggests that most of us are conditioned by our Western science-based education to think that the universe is much simpler and 'material' than it really is. He argues that we should recognize the limits of the current scientific worldview which fails to account for genuine paranormal experiences, including phenomena such as out-of-body experiences (OBE), reliably reported by thousands of people. In honestly exploring these areas, rather than denying them, he argues we could look more deeply into the real nature of human existence.

4.0 out of 5 stars Science does not discount the Paranormal, 21 Jun 2008
Prof. Arthur Ellison was head of a Department of Engineering at City University, London. He was also for many years prominent in the Society for Psychical Research, becoming its President. He brings to his subject a wealth of personal experience and a coldly scientific approach which manages to demystify aspects of Psychical phenomena whilst at the same time confirming the validity of many psychic experiences. Some of these he underwent himself. He posits an interesting theory of mind as a result of his enquiries.

Ellison's down-to-earth approach and his conclusions will shake the scepticism of many who scoff at the very idea of psychic phenomena.

A must-read for all those interested in this subject.
