In Talking about Psychical Research: Thoughts on Life, Death and the Nature of Reality, Mary Rose Barrington asks, "What is the point of psychical research?" She goes on to share her thoughts on subjects including telepathy, clairvoyance, ' jotts', scepticism, psychic force and her small theory of everything, and in doing so provides us with an enlightening, erudite and entertaining read.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Ms Barrington has put together a collection that underlines the substance and importance of this field of study, and develops a "mind infused", multi-level worldview to accommodate psychic phenomena. This collection deserves a place on the bookshelf of anyone interested pondering over the field and its history".</p><p> <strong>Prof. John Poynton, MSc, Ph.D.</strong>, OMS, Past president of the Society for Psychical Research</p><p> </p><p>"Having attended many of Ms Barrington's psychical research lectures, I am delighted that she has finally put them down on paper in this book. The reader is presented with several decades of serious research, personal experience, and classic scholarship, which cannot be bought, and is only down to the dedication and commitment she has given to psychical research. A valuable insight!" </p><p> <strong>Callum E. Cooper, Ph.D</strong>., University of Northampton, co-editor of <em>Paracoustics: Sound & the Paranormal</em></p><p>"Focused on the wider dimension signalled by reported personal experience, this informative, witty and delightfully subversive volume carries an impressive assembly of knowledge, reflection and wisdom in support of the value and importance of that experience".</p><p> <strong> Zofia Weaver, BA, Ph.D</strong>., author of <em>Other Realities?: The enigma of Franek Kluski's mediumship </em></p><br>
