By presenting both anecdotal and scientific evidence, a biologist examines the social aspects to animal behavior patterns, and asserts that emotional bonds between humans and animals can yield advanced forms of communication often ignored by conventional scientists.
Are the eternal laws of nature still evolving? In this book of "trialogues," the late psychedelic visionary Terence McKenna, biologist and author of the morphogenetic field theory Rupert Sheldrake, and mathematician and chaos theory scientist Ralph Abraham explore the relationships between chaos and creativity, and their connections to cosmic ...
According to the author, the human mind extends far beyond the brain. Citing thousands of case histories and questionnaires, THE SENSE OF BEING STARED AT makes the scientific case that telepathy, intuition, and other abilities which have traditionally been dismissed as "paranormal" are all in fact natural phenomena.
This book develops the revolutionary theory that behaviour and social systems are not only governed by immutable and mechanistic laws, which is the traditional viewpoint, but also by habits transmitted by nature's inherent memory. Rupert Sheldrake's hypothesis is that all natural systems from crystals to man inherit a collective memory of their ...
Challenging the fundamental assumptions of modern science, this ground-breaking radical hypothesis suggests that nature itself has memory. Sheldrake's hypothesis has been featured in Science, Nature, New Scientist, USA TODAY, and Newsweek. Drawings and photos throughout.
Visionary priest Matthew Fox and maverick biologist Rupert Sheldrake choose passages from the Bible and from the writings of three great Christian mystics--Thomas Aquinas, Hildegard of Bingen, and Dionysius the Areopagite--and read them with the new vision granted by the discoveries of modern physics, evolutionary theory, and astronomy. Our belief ...
How does your pet know when you're coming home? Can people really tell when they're being stared at? Can science explain the unexplainable? Celebrated biologist Rupert Sheldrake explores such questions in this compelling, intelligent book--and with simple, inexpensive experiments, the curious and the skeptical are invited to join him on this ...
Most of us know it well--the almost physical sensation that we are the object of someone’s attention. Is the feeling all in our heads? What about related phenomena, such as telepathy and premonitions? Are they merely subjective beliefs? In The Sense of Being Stared At , renowned biologist Rupert Sheldrake explores the intricacies of the ...
One of the world's foremost biologists revolutionizes scientific thinking with his vision of a living, developing universe with its own inherent memory. In THE REBIRTH OF NATURE, Rupert Sheldrake urges us to move beyond the centuries-old mechanistic view of nature, explaining why we can no longer regard the world as inanimate and purposeless.
What is the nature of life, and how are the shapes and instincts of living organisms determined? Sheldrake's hypothesis, "Formative Causation", proposes that form and function of all living things are passed to succeeding generations by "morphogenetic fields" that extend through space and time.
This critically acclaimed, beautifully written book presents an inspiring view of a living nature that is almost consciously involoved in its own evolution. The book combines biology and other sciences, mythology, history, psychology, and religion into a lyrical, provocative celebration of the power and beauty of Nature and humanity's place in it. ...
Though the chasm between science and religion has been a source of intellectual and spiritual tension for centuries, the momentous dialogues in NATURAL GRACE demonstrate a remarkable confluence of once opposing camps. Matthew Fox is an Episcopal priest and author. Rupert Sheldrake is one of the most innovative scientists of our time.

A scientific examination of mysterious phenomena and the experiments that anyone can perform to prove their existence, this book is a broad-based research program and an open invitation for widespread participation in creating new science. Readers will find themselves on a journey of discovery that will continue long after they finish the book. ...
A dialogue between science and religion that manages to avoid heat in favor of light, and offers fresh vantage points on the new consonance found between these two long-divided camps.
Stimulating and often startling discussions between three friends, all highly original thinkers: Rupert Sheldrake, controversial biologist, Terence McKenna, psychedelic visionary, and Ralph Abraham, chaos mathematician. Their passion is to break out of paradigms that retard our evolution and to explore new possibilities. Through challenge and ...
British biologists Rupert Sheldrake and American priest Matthew Fox share an interest in going beyond the current limitations of institutional science and mechanistic religion. They both believe that as a new millennium dawns, a new vision is needed which brings together science, spirituality and a sense of the sacred. Their separation underlies ...

Seven experiments are proposed in this book that the author believes, if any are successful, will alter how the reader perceives the world. The purpose of the book is to draw attention to areas of research neglected as a result of conventional habits of thought. The descriptions of the experiments are intended to focus the topics under discussion. ...
In daily life we take it for granted that our minds have conscious control of our actions, at least for most of the time. But many scientists and philosophers deny that this is really the case, because there is no generally accepted theory of how the mind interacts with the body. Max Velmans presents a non-reductive solution to the problem, in ...
