Presence of the Past
"…few of us recognize revolutions in the making. Anyone who wants to be able to say in the future, 'I was there', had better read 'The Presence of the Past' NICHOLAS HUMPHREY

"engaging, provocative … a tour de force" NEW SCIENTIST

'One of the most profound and far-reaching books of modern scientific philosophy ... eminently accessible to the general reader.' --Fortean Times

The Sense of Being Stared at
You will certainly never take the miracle of the senses for granted again" (Dr James Le Fanu The Tablet)

"Sheldrake uses many case studies, along with scientific theory, to support his research, and the result is, quite literally, mind-expanding" (The Good Book Guide)

"Dr Rupert Sheldrake continues to chart a new course in our understanding ...The application of this understanding has the potential to heal our world" (Deepak Chopra, M.D.)

"[Sheldrake's] genius lies in his taking well-attested anecdotal phenomena like telepathy, the sense of being stared at and anticipating alarm calls, then puts them to the scientific test. In doing so his work not only extends - indeed stretches - the mind, it extends science in a new and creative direction." (David Lorimer, Scientific and Medical Network Review)

The Science Delusion
In The God Delusion Richard Dawkins used science to bash God, but here Rupert Sheldrake shows that Dawkins' understanding of what science can do is old-fashioned and itself a delusion. 'Rupert Sheldrake does science, humanity and the world at large a considerable favour.' The Independent

'Certainly we need to accept the limitations of much current dogma and keep our minds open as we reasonably can. Sheldrake may help us do so through this well-written, challenging and always interesting book.' Financial Times
