Publisher's Synopsis

This is a striking, colourful and persuasive attack on the roots of belief in the paranormal. Nicholas Humphrey, a distinguished theoretical psychologist and a philosopher, explains why we cling, like children, to a trust in powers greater than our own.

About the Publisher

Chatto & Windus

Chatto was founded in 1855 by a bookseller-publisher called John Camden Hotten. On Hotten's death, Andrew Chatto, who had worked there since he was fifteen, acquired the business with a sleeping partner, W.E. Windus. In 1917, The Hogarth Press was founded by Virginia and Leonard Woolf, and in 1946 this too came under Chatto's management. The firm published many significant writers and classics - R.L. Stevenson, Lytton Strachey, Marcel Proust, Laurie Lee, Christopher Isherwood, Rosamond Lehmann, Henry Green, Sigmund Freud and Iris Murdoch. Cecil Day-Lewis, Poet Laureate, was editorial director in the 1960s.
