Summary: The Very Best Coffee Table Parapsychology Book!
Review: THE ROOTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS was written by the world's one and only doctor in parapsychology, Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove. Few people are as well-connected with pioneers in the field of conciousness as Mishlove, and his lifetime of experience with psychic research is reflected in what is certainly the most complete compendium of consciousness studies ever. Have you ever wondered whether people's feelings towards one another could be captured on film, or whether animals can communicate with humans? Would you like to better understand metal-bending, psychokinesis, UFOs and out-of-body phenomenons? If you answered, "yes" to any of the above, this is the book for you. THE ROOTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS is large (wide, thick and heavy), with lots of excellent black and white photographs and illustrations, which makes it an ideal conversation-starter when placed atop your coffee table. By flipping this book open randomly to any given page, one is immediately rewarded with fascinating insights into the details of some branch of parapsychology. Mishlove's interdisciplinary expertise lends this book tremendous depth and breadth of scope, as it includes history, mathematics, physics, psychology, and religion. I love the way this book is organized into several main sections which cover history, folklore, scientific studies, and theories to explain what is going on when people demonstrate extraordinary events and human abilities. I appreciate the balanced way that Mishlove covers the facts free from hyperbole -- and the way he includes the perspective of skeptics such as James Randi along with the point of view of researchers in the field of psi. While THE ROOTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS is currently out of print, it is well worth finding a copy!

Summary: The Implicate Order is: Glean this Tome
Review: Whether it's Rabindranath Tagore and the autistic Albert Einstein in a great tete a tete or the little known side effects of Lie Algebras in the absurdly complex maintenance of observer created reality, Mishlove has stalwartly and never unaccidentably fashioned the great hidden thing of the nineties. Beware, kids, and work on your number theory!
