You will certainly never take the miracle of the senses for granted again

Sheldrake uses many case studies, along with scientific theory, to support his research, and the result is, quite literally, mind-expanding

Dr Rupert Sheldrake continues to chart a new course in our understanding ...The application of this understanding has the potential to heal our world

[Sheldrake's] genius lies in his taking well-attested anecdotal phenomena like telepathy, the sense of being stared at and anticipating alarm calls, then puts them to the scientific test. In doing so his work not only extends - indeed stretches - the mind, it extends science in a new and creative direction.

David Lorimer, Scientific and Medical Network Review

And Other Aspects of the Extended Mind

Have you ever had a premonition, the feeling of being watched, or a telepathic experience? Renowned biologist Rupert Sheldrake explores the intricacies of the mind and discovers that our perceptive abilities are stronger than many of us could have imagined.

A unique psychological science book from Rupert Sheldrake, ground-breaking scientist and author of Dogs That Know When Their Owners are Coming Home.

Dr Rupert Sheldrake is a biologist and author of more than eighty scientific papers and ten books. A former Research Fellow of the Royal Society, he studied natural sciences at Cambridge University where he took a PhD in biochemistry, and philosophy at Harvard University, where he was Frank Knox Fellow.
