Can the marvels of spiritualism survive the test of the laboratory? In The Marvels Beyond Science, neurologist Joseph Grasset undertakes a critical study of occultism at the very height of early 20th-century occult enthusiasm. The result is utterly bracing. Drawing on medical observation, courtroom-style cross-examination and the emerging field of psychical research nonfiction, he examines haunted rooms, clairvoyant visions, mysterious raps and startling mediumistic feats, asking whether such paranormal phenomena can be reduced to natural laws without destroying their wonder. Sceptical yet curious, Grasset navigates the spiritualism and mediumship debate with rare balance, exploring science and the supernatural for sceptics and believers alike. Both an early parapsychology book and an enduring occult science reference book, The Marvels Beyond Science stands at the crossroads of turn-of-the-century spiritualism, psychology and neurology. It captures a moment when the Society for Psychical Research and kindred investigators were struggling to see where fraud ended and genuine anomaly began, making it a compelling read for readers of parapsychology classics and for anyone fascinated by paranormal phenomena explained, tested and sometimes dismantled. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. From casual seekers of early 20th century occult curiosities to serious students building a lasting library, this is of enduring interest to those drawn to science and the supernatural.
