ANIMAL ESP 1954 TELEPATHY Dowsing Hypnotism Stigmatisation Dice Seance Phenomena

Description: This is the illustrated 1954 *first edition* of PSYCHICAL RESEARCH TODAY by D J West Landmark work criticised by both contemporary believers in psychical phenomena and skeptics, as West is critical of physical mediumship, yet uses psychological techniques to evaluate certain paranormal phenomena — his attitude towards extrasensory perception, although well-researched, remains controversial today … Hardback, around 5.25 inches by more than 8.5 tall, retains much of its original dust jacket, price unclipped, as originally issued, over its publisher's original green cloth. Titling in original gilt on label to back-strip protecting the spine. First edition published by Duckworth, London, in 1954. Contents are at right [in photo, below] opposite publication date… A small vertical line to p87 at margin aside, free from further permanent inscription and markings to the text. Although interior condition is overall good, because this original letterpress book is old, it does display minor signs of use and age — such as the usual discolouration to old paper — consistent with a printed object of this vintage. All 144 pp main text (inc index) are complete √ and otherwise correct. Author is pictured at right [in photo, directly below] ¶ Donald James West (1924–2020); British psychiatrist, parapsychologist and author. On his 1984 retirement West was named Emeritus Professor of Clinical Criminology, Cambridge. He was also an Emeritus Fellow of Darwin College, University of Cambridge.¶ Your book, anywhere within the UK, is sent to you FREE.
