Paranormality by Richard Wiseman

Paranormality

by Richard Wiseman

'People are emotionally drawn to the supernatural. They actively want weird, spooky things to be true . . . Wiseman shows us a higher joy as he deftly skewers the paranormal charlatans, blows away the psychic fog and lets in the clear light of reason.' Richard Dawkins

Professor Richard Wiseman is clear about one thing: paranormal phenomena don't exist. But in the same way that the science of space travel transforms our everyday lives, so research into telepathy, fortune-telling and out-of-body experiences produces remarkable insights into our brains, behaviour and beliefs. Paranormality embarks on a wild ghost chase into this new science of the supernatural and is packed with activities that allow you to experience the impossible. So throw away your crystals, ditch your lucky charms and cancel your subscription to Reincarnation Weekly. It is time to discover the real secrets of the paranormal.

La biblia de los fenómenos paranormales. El primer capítulo, en el que el autor te enseña a hacerle una "lectura en frío" a una víctima desprevenida, debería enseñarse en todos los colegios del mundo. El autor hace un repaso a multitud de fenómenos presuntamente paranormales (apariciones de fantasmas, levitaciones...) y nos cuenta las últimas investigaciones científicas relacionadas con el tema. Muy revelador y muy didáctico. Un grandísimo libro para los que quieren ver qué tiene la ciencia que decir sobre tantos fenómenos "inexplicados".
