The Medium, the Mystic, and the Physicist: Toward a General Theory of the Paranormal; Lawrence Leshan. "In a new preface, a well-known humanistic psychologist explains that his book is the result of scientific study of a psychic. LeShan's thesis is that psi phenomena, mysticism, and theoretical physics are equally valid world views." (from Book News, Inc.)

Limitless Mind: A Guide to Remote Viewing and Transformation of Consciousness; Russell Targ. "Russell Targ has spent a lifetime working in the science of consciousness and human possibilities.... The descriptions of the remote-viewing work that he and his associates have done are both compelling and central to our understanding of the human capacity." - from the foreword by Jean Houston, author of The Possible Human.

Miracles of Mind: Exploring Nonlocal Consciousness and Spiritual Healing; Russell Targ, Jane Katra. "Relying on their strengths--he a pioneering physicist and she a highly respected spiritual healer--Targ and Katra reveal scientific evidence and gripping stories to prove the innate psychic power of the human mind."

"McTaggart, an investigative journalist (What Doctors Don't Tell You), describes scientific discoveries that she believes point to a unifying concept of the universe, one that reconciles mind with matter, classic Newtonian science with quantum physics and, most importantly, science with religion... These fields, McTaggart asserts, are a "cobweb of energy exchange" that link everything in the universe; they control everything from cellular communication to the workings of the mind, and they could be harnessed for unlimited propulsion fuel, levitation, ESP, spiritual healing and more."
