Summary
Michael A. Thalbourne's (2003) glossary is the 2nd edition of his unique work. Revised and expanded, the Glossary contains 300 terms not found in the first edition, to a total of 1000 terms, covering psychic phenomena, research methods and theory in scientific parapsychology. The strength of this unique dictionary is that Thalbourne traces the words to their first uses, provides bibliographic reference for controversies over the concepts underlying many of the terms, and provides the etymological derivations for each term. A true resource for anyone interested in the field, for scholars and students, editors and writers.
