Beyond Supernature: A New Natural History of the Supernatural

A thought-provoking look at the world of the supernatural that shows how many paranormal events can be explained by what we already know--or don't know--about the natural world.

Scientist and rationalist Lyall Watson, the author of the million-copy bestseller Supernature, reveals the inconsistencies, blank spots, and "soft edges" in current scientific theory that make the existence of the supernatural not only an intriguing possibility--but a necessary and perfectly logical part of our explanation of the workings of the universe.

Examining breakthroughs in science from biology to biofeedback, from quantum physics to paraphysics, the author proposes a revolutionary synthesis of nature and supernature. He offers surprising insights into such "unexplainable" phenomena as telepathy, reincarnation, synchronicity, poltergeists, evolutionary intelligence, and other mind-bending questions challenging science today. Beyond Supernature is a groundbreaking new chapter in the never-ending search for reality. It is a book for anyone who can still look at the world with both common sense and a sense of wonder.
