He was one of the scientists I interviewed for my book.  Even more exciting was the fact that the Library Journal said the following in their review:  <\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Recommended for serious readers interested in a scientific theory for parapsychological phenomena that is supported by case studies.&#8221; <\/em> <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s exciting because the review is objective instead of condescending.  Carpenter&#8217;s book has garnered a lot of great reviews, but I&#8217;m picking this one because the author was in the news so much last year because of his own ESP experiments.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cFirst Sight: ESP and Parapsychology in Everyday Life is written from James Carpenter\u2019s unique dual perspective as both a respected research scientist and a practicing psychotherapist. It is an exciting and elegantly written book that simultaneously makes a major theoretical contribution to the science of psychic functioning while providing an accurate, non-technical overview of the field accessible to the interested general reader.\u201d<\/em> \u2014 Daryl J.
