Something extraordinary is going on. Science is finding that much of the paranormal is really normal. But even though research is uncovering the truth of psychic phenomena, psychics rarely win lottery jackpots. Why is that? Evidence increasingly indicates that our consciousness survives physical death, but few people converse with loved ones who have passed away. Why is that? The statistical probability that our universe exists at all is remote, yet the scientific paradigm is reluctant to allow that it might be designed. Why is that? And repeatedly, fewer people are involved in cataclysmic tragedies than the odds would expect for the time and location. Yet most of us do not recognize intuitive hints to avoid serious misfortune. Why is that? For centuries, science dismissed much paranormal weirdness as coincidence without seriously looking at it. It is now discovering that we are experiencing more than coincidence. But much remains hidden, intuition is rarely obvious, and psychic errors abound. Why? Why indeed? Hop aboard to explore some answers.
Celebrated historian May describes how activists surmounted long-standing obstacles for the African-American vote, overcoming centuries of bigotry to secure--and preserve--the right of black citizens to full participation in American democracy in a vivid narrative history.
"This is the most comprehensive and thoughtful work ever done on undercover policing. It will be the benchmark by which all further scholarship in this area will be judged."—Jerome Skolnick, University of California, Berkeley, School of Law "If you believe in undercover tactics, this book will warn you. If you are opposed to covert activities by the police, this excellent study will force you to rethink your position. . . . Undercover is indispensable for anyone who wants to understand the threat, but also the usefulness, of surveillance by law enforcement officials."—R. Drinan, Georgetown University "Gary Marx's book is one of the best of the rare species, thoughtful and analytic books about police surveillance. He has a thousand stories, most of them current . . . and he makes a solid study out of them. He has written a sociological map for surveillance, giving it a structure that it has never before had."—P. Chevigny, New York University "This is the best single treatment of the problem of undercover investigations in our literature. Gary Marx writes not only with erudition and sensitivity, he is a very sensible man as well. He has mastered a vast amount of detail while not losing sight of the big picture. I cannot praise this book too highly."—J. Kaplan, Stanford University "A tour de force on a very difficult subject. . . . This is an important, needed, well-executed book. It will be widely read and used."—D. Bayley, State University of New York, Albany "A remarkable success at weaving legal and sociological factors in an otherwise controversial and seemingly irreconcilable interplay of disciplines."—J. Wilczynski, Prosecutor's Brief "A wonderful book!"—Professor Arthur Miller, C-NBC Live "Deserves a wide audience beyond practitioners and scholars."—A. Bouza, Chief of Police, Minneapolis
