The decline and fall of science

Inside "In her latest book, The Decline and Fall of Science, Celia Green has married the brilliant and caustic style of The Human Evasion to the subject-matter of her scientific books on lucid dreams, out-of-the-body experiences and apparitions. The book is first and foremost a blistering and highly amusing attack on the attitudes of the contemporary scientific and intellectual establishment to psychical phenomena and their investigation. ('"What have lucid dreams to do with science?" they ask, in an attitude of witless openmindedness, expressive of their perfect willingness to allow you to talk yourself into exhaustion'); and it contains many highly dramatic first-hand case-histories of the kind currently ignored by out-of-the-body experiences, apparitions, telepathy and psychokinesis."
