Book Review of Beyond Supernature : A New Natural History of the Supernatural

Beyond Supernature : A New Natural History of the Supernatural
reviewed on


In this thought provoking new book, Lyall Watson, scientist and rationalist, takes a serious look at the world of the supernatural and shows how many paranormal events can be explained by what we already know--or don't know-- about the natural world. Watson, the author of the million-copy bestseller "Supernature", reveals the inconsistencies, blank spots and "soft edges" in current scientific theory that make the existence of the supernatural not only an intriguing possibility --but a necessary and perfectly logical part of our explanation of the workings of the universe.

Examining the latest breakthroughs in science from biology to biofeedback from quantum physics to paraphysics, the author proposes a revolutionary synthesis of nature and supernature. He offers surprising new insights into such "unexplainable" phenomena as telepathy, reincarnation, synchronicity, poltergeists, evolutionar intelligence, and other mindbending questions challenging science today. "Beyond Supernature" is a groundbreaking new chapter in the never-ending search for reality. It is a book for anyone who can still look at the world with both common sense and a sense of wonder.
