Natural and Supernatural: A History of the Paranormal from the Earliest Times to 1914
'I believe it to be an extraordinarily important and valuable work, sensational in what it contains and even more so in its implications... he has piled up a mountain of evidence, searchingly examined and scrupulously evaluated.'  Bernard Levin, The Times   'It has the two basic qualities which make books on history endure: it is both scholarly and readable.' Arthur Koestler, the Guardian   'A tour de force... one of those works, like H. G. Wells Outline of History, that fires the imagination and leaves the reader feeling stunned, but excited.' Colin Wilson, Evening News   'Brian Inglis is eminently sensible and sane. In this massive survey, the evidence is presented in a sober and scholarly way... Natural and Supernatural is hard to fault.' the Economist   Inglis bring to this book the same thoroughness and care that he shows in his other books - while I have not been converted, it has intensified mental conflict, and I admire and respect him for writing it.' Karl Sabbagh, New Scientist   'Cool, authoritative and highly readable  -  a service to science and society.' Ray Brown, Psychology Today
