Handbook of parapsychology. theory and practice. new edition.

The numerous pointers set forth in this work are of great use to the reader who wishes to plan his or her first practical experiments in this area, stimulating his or her interest, suggesting new ideas, and inviting him or her to constant vigilance and a healthy critical sense. After a few introductory chapters, which lay the groundwork for a correct interpretation of paranormal phenomena, the work presents numerous practical experiments and "games" (designed to solicit and maintain the subject's interest and attention) that always take place in complete compliance with the scientific conditions of experimentation. An extensive chapter introduces the statistical study of the data collected, providing fundamental notions of their processing and reading, the preparation of tables and diagrams, the proper application of the concept of randomness, and about the interpolations and predictions that can be made thanks to mathematical methods. Extensive considerations on the application of ESP in the future and a collection of articles and reports on research carried out around the world complete the work, which combines the scientific authority of a well-known scholar of the subject with simplicity of language and a wealth of data, results, and information.
