This is the best book we have yet encountered on psychic phenomena
because it gives us something solid to bite into: laboratory
experiments analysed by seemingly sound statistical methods.
Researcher Radin seems to prove the existence of psychic abilities
in not
one but several controlled experiments, including some involving the
casinos of Las Vegas. It turns out that certain
paranormal factors, including
the moon, do affect a gambler's winning, and Radin has reams of data
to prove it. Witnesses may be fallible, but it is hard to argue with
numbers, and in the absense of deliberate fraud, it is hard to
question Radin's results. There is dynamite in this book because it
focusses on simple procedures that ought to be easy to replicate.
Charts and graphs abound in this book, but they don't get in the way
of understanding. Radin explains complex experimental concepts in
layman's terms. He pulls together all of the previous psi research and
makes us think "Wow, this is real!" We now use our own copy
as often as our dictionary as we build a web database on
psychic phenomena.
