Charles Tart, psychology professor at the University of California, Davis, has collected articles from a wide range of this once-taboo subject. The book covers the effects of drugs, yoga, self-hypnosis, mutual hypnosis, meditation, brain wave feedback, and dream consciousness. The study of consciousness has only recently "come of age" in western psychology. As the editor points out in his introduction, "Many primitive peoples believe that almost every normal adult who cannot do this is a psychological cripple. How different Americans would seem to a person from such a culture." This book combines the best of the humanistic and scientific traditions. It opens the door to the enormous human potential--physiological and social, as well as psychological--of altered states of consciousness. "Who will want to read this book? Every literate person who is involved in the perpetual search for means of illimitable resources of the mind."(Publisher). Good.
