Product Description
"The Hundredth Monkey" takes its title from philosopher Ron Amundson's expose of the "Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon", a claim about collective consciousness. Forty-three essays by thirty-nine authors, including Isaac Asmov, Martin Gardner, Carl Sagan, Ray Hyman, Paul Kurtz, and James Randi, examine aspects of paranormal and fringe-science beliefs from an authoritative, scientific point of view.

Customer Reviews
A perfect guide to skepticism!
This is an excellent book for those of you who aren't fooled by wild paranormal schemes. Great authors, great essays. I especially like the part about fire-walking, channeling, and critical thinking.
Great skeptical scientific and fair viewpoints of paranormal
The hundredth monkey is a collection of essays taken primarily from the Skeptical Observer magazine and directly takes on the issues of ESP (PSI), astrology, UFOs and other items associated with the paranormal. Very well written -- I especially liked the investigations into ESP and astrology. Perfect starter book for anyone trying to understand the arguments against the paranormal.
