Barrington, Mary Rose; Stevenson, Ian; Weaver, Zofia - A World In A Grain Of Sand~The Clairvoyance Of Stefan Ossowiecki
A World In A Grain Of Sand presents a collaborative biography about Polish psychic Stefan Ossowiecki. Through her translations of primary sources Zofia Weaver, a past editor of both the Journal and the Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research, reveals Ossowiecki's life and work during the interwar period (1920-1940; d. 1944 in the Nazi reprisals for the Warsaw uprising) to most people for the first time. Retired lawyer Mary Rose Barrington provides a thorough, structured analysis of his psychical work. And Ian Stevenson, a research professor of psychiatry at the University of Virginia, insures perspective and coherence through a succinct introduction and afterword.
From the back cover:
Many people around the world accept the possibility of telepathy or clairvoyance. Very rarely, however, has anyone been able to demonstrate these psychic faculties with enough accuracy and reliability to produce significant results in repeated experimentation. An exception to this was the Polish engineer and industrialist Stefan Ossowiecki.
Ossowiecki (1877–1944) is perhaps the most gifted psychic ever to come under the scrutiny of researchers. He demonstrated a range and quality of clairvoyance that no one has exceeded, at least under experimental controls. Equally important, he was eager to learn more about his talent and allowed a variety of researchers to use him in experiments. Anecdotal accounts of his talent abounded, but it was the controlled observations of investigators in experiments conducted in Paris and Warsaw that confirmed his gift. For the first time, this book brings to English-speaking researchers and the public detailed accounts of the crucial experiments carried out with Ossowiecki, which produced compelling evidence of paranormal cognition.
