She was determined to devote her life to parapsychology  but what she found wasnt what she had bargained for. None of her cleverly devised experiments revealed a hint of the psi she was seeking. In a determined effort to find it somehow  she tested young children in play groups  trained students in imagery and altered states of consciousness  and even put Tarot cards to the test. She visited haunted houses and was regressed to a \"past life.\"Finally  accused of being a \"psi-inhibitory experimenter\" with the power of abolishing paranormal effects  she visited other  more successful  experimenters. Here she found only errors in their experiments. In this new and updated edition of \"The Adventures of a Parapsychologist\"  Blackmore is at last at liberty to explain just what she found in those ill-fated experiments at Cambridge. She brings her story up to date in a lively and personal account of one scientists never-ending search for the paranormal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45277020946485,"sku":"ByrdShop_0879753609","price":100.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780879753603.jpg?v=1780569798","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-adventures-of-a-parapsychologist-9780879753603","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
