Summary

Originally published in 1979, Mind at Large is a collection of essays from the leading scientists and progressive thinkers of the day, reporting from the diverse fields of paranormal research and theory.

Each piece is edited with an introduction by the pre-eminent researchers in the field Charles Tart, Harold Puthoff, and Russell Targ. Mind at Large features fascinating first-hand research accounts from luminaries such as Edwin May, Costa de Beauregard, Helmut Schmidt, and many more including the insights of the editors themselves.

Also of special note, Mind at Large offers the philosophical musings of the seventies' foremost paranormal advocates including Edgar Mitchell's stirring call to locate and train the most exceptional members of our society in the use of the psychic arts, and Ingo Swann's "View from the Inside" as subject in various vital psi research projects, an essay touching upon the ever-controversial topic of scientific ethics.
