Dear Subscribers,
The Paranthropology Second Anniversary Anthology is now available to order
as a hardback book:
http://paranthropologyjournal.weebly.com/anthology.html
Just visit the above link and click on the 'Buy Now' tab.
Here's a blurb for the book:
We are living in a complicated period in relation to our understanding of
'extraordinary' phenomena. Naive materialist approaches are more assertive
than ever, in anthropology and in the world more generally. At the same
time, the taboos against admitting to the reality of the paranormal are
weakening. There is a growing body of writing which takes the paranormal
and extraordinary seriously, while bringing to it the same academic
standards that any other subject matter would require. This is a valuable
and important development, and it helps open the way to new modes of
understanding in the sciences and social sciences that will not reject
scientific rationality, but expand that rationality so as to include more
of the world of human experience. The articles in this Paranthropology
reader provide important clues and suggestions, along with rigorous
argument, to help us in exploring what is likely to be a major area of
anthropological engagement in coming years.
Dr. Geoffrey Samuel, Cardiff University.
I hope you enjoy it.
The July 2012 issue of the journal is a little behind schedule, but should
be available before the end of the month.
All the best.
Jack
