I picked this up for a quarter and I have been dipping into it while waiting in the car. It is not worth reading from end to end. I can’t believe that anyone ever put much credence in Rhine. He likes to confuse anecdotal evidence with scientific method. Rhine never gives hard numbers from what I read, and his approach to studying ESP seems naive.

Rhine and the Duke experiments are often referred to in Science Fiction. John W. Campbell, Jr. seems to have bought into Rhine hook, line, and sinker.

A quick look on Wikipedia tells that some of Rhine’s assistants fudged the data so it would look better. If there is ever a scientific study of ESP it would have to be done much differently than the Duke experiments. Rhine’s results have never been duplicated. He only published his good results, and those are suspect.
