192 pages. Explores the latest research of Cleve Backster, who by attaching a lie-detector to the leaf of a plant discovered that it had feelings and the ability to read our thoughts. Now this ability - primary perception - has been traced even to disconnected cells of our own bodies. The implications and possibilities of that discovery, and the difficult struggle it has had in finding acceptance in the tradition-bound scientific community makes exciting, challenging, mind-expanding reading. Unmarked. Crease to one page. Small bookseller's label inside front cover. Very light wear. Glossy illustrated covers. Nice copy. Book
