Mental Radio is a book written by Upton Sinclair, an American writer and social reformer. The book is a collection of experiments and observations conducted by Sinclair and his wife, Mary Craig Sinclair, on telepathy and psychic phenomena. The Sinclairs conducted these experiments by sending and receiving mental messages between themselves, with Mary acting as the sender and Upton as the receiver. The book describes in detail their experiences and the various techniques they used to communicate telepathically. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is an introduction to the concept of telepathy and the Sinclairs' personal experiences with it. It also includes a brief history of psychic research and the scientific theories behind telepathy. The second part of the book is a collection of transcripts of the mental messages that Mary sent to Upton, along with his responses. Mental Radio was first published in 1930 and caused a stir in the scientific community. Some researchers praised the book for its contribution to the study of psychic phenomena, while others dismissed it as unscientific and unreliable. Despite the controversy, Mental Radio remains a classic in the field of parapsychology and continues to be studied by researchers and enthusiasts alike.This is a new release of the original 1930 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

It just confirms what I already knew, that humans can communicate mentally. I say dry because it is similar in a way to a book I read many years ago out of Duke University on psychokinesis . Both books bend over backward to show their not influencing the results which can be tedious at times. Nonetheless, if you are interested in telepathy this should interest you..

Great background information
From the early days of ESP research, when "telepathy" was a concept, not a popular term, this book documents the author's experiences with mental communication.
For anyone familiar with Sinclair's cynicism, this book is a real jolt. However, if you're familiar with Sinclair's writing style, this book is a delight as well.
The information is compelling, and the story is well-told by someone who, initially, had difficulty believing this himself.
If you're looking for something scientific or modern, this probably isn't the best book for you.
However, if you're interested in the history and development of ESP-related studies, this is a must-read.
