Headlines and television news reports feature accounts of reincarnation, the predictions of astrologers, and psychic 'miracles'. Citizens report UFO sightings. Police departments call on psychics to provide clues in baffling crimes. From every available information source, the public is bombarded with unsubstantiated claims of paranormal phenomena. How much of the evidence is reliable? What is the truth behind these claims? This is an exciting, well-informed examination of the most publicized and exotic claims of astrology, ESP, psychokinesis, precognition, UFOs, biorhythms, and other phenomena. Written by respected psychologists, astronomers and other scientists, philosophers, investigative journalists, and magicians, the 47 articles in this superb collection present a skeptical treatment of pseudo scientific claims - an aspect often sorely neglected in sensationalized media reports. The book is an effort to help readers sort fact from fiction and sense from nonsense among the astonishing variety of assertions labeled 'paranormal'. Never before published in book form, the essays in this anthology originally appeared in the "Skeptical Inquirer", a leading magazine devoted to the critical investigation of pseudoscience from a scientific viewpoint. Among the contributors are: Isaac Asimov (distinguished science fiction author), Martin Gardner ("Scientific American" columnist), James Randi ("The Amazing Randi"), Philip Klass (noted UFO sceptic), Scot Morris ("Omni"), and James Oberg (NASA). An essential contribution to skeptical literature, this book will be of lasting value to all those wishing to balance the case for paranormal claims by reading the dissenting critics.
