The Conscious Universe: The Scientific Truth of Psychic Phenomena - by Dean Radin. "This is the best book we have yet encountered on psychic phenomena because it gives us something solid to bite into: laboratory experiments analysed by seemingly sound statistical methods. Researcher Radin seems to prove the existence of psychic abilities in not one but several controlled experiments, including some involving the casinos of Las Vegas. It turns out that certain paranormal factors, including the moon, do affect a gambler's winning, and Radin has reams of data to prove it." (1997)
