The World Of The Paranormal: The Next Frontier challenges current parapsychological thinking and offers new insights in the study of telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, psychic healing, and other psychic phenomena. Arguing that the crucial key lies in the discoveries twentieth-century science has made concerning the nature of reality, and the realm of consciousness, The World Of The Paranormal does not shy from advanced philosophical considerations in its quest to better understand the psychic realm. Psychologist, educator, and author Lawrence LeShan skillfully presents complex theoretical concepts in the clearest possible language, in this welcome contribution to new age studies shelves.

LeShan takes on the "common sense" view of psi phenomena as well as parapsychology. He shows that modern quantum physics and Einstein's relativity theory have demonstrated that a new theory of consciousness is needed to explain ESP, death bed visions, psychic healing, etc. For those new to LeShan's ideas, I recommend The Medium, the Mystic, and the Physicist as a companion volume. It's a short read with interesting anecdotes.
