Book Review
Eliva Press book has received a positive review from THE SOCIETY for Psychical Research. Review was made by Dr. Graham Kidd.
"Ng is modestly aware of limitations when trying to make sense of the whole field, and is refreshingly not beyond expressing doubt, wonder, surprise, and indeed amusement when relating purported facts and his conclusions about this fascinating subject. Although one can take issue with the extent to which he has evaluated alternative points of view, this book for me has been both highly stimulating and a joy to read. I recommend it."
