The Invention of Telepathy
ISBN: 9780199249626 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The belief in telepathy is still widely held and yet it remains much disputed by scientists. Roger Luckhurst explores the origins of the term in the late nineteenth century.

This is an exciting and accessible study, written for general readers as much as scholars and students.
