Although a great deal of work has been done in the field during this period and much has been written in controversy over the subject, there has been hitherto no attempt to present a thorough survey of the whole attack on the problem; scientists as well as lay readers have lacked an opportunity to examine the evidence as a whole. This book is intended to afford just such a complete review of the recent research in extra~sensory perception, in the light of all of the criticisms that it has drawn. It is the purpose of the authors to include in this survey everything that is of importance to know in deciding whether ESP occurs, and what it is like if it does occur. It is their hope that the presentation will be clear enough to permit a view of the work in proper perspective, and yet technical enough to answer all the relevant questions as far as they have been answered by the results of experiments.
