Pooh-poohed by the scientific establishment, Baron von Reichenbach's painstaking research on the forces of Magnetism, Electricity, Heat, Light, Crystallization, and Chee reveal a hitherto still largely unidentified force in nature. The few scientists who took the trouble to go through his carefully documented experiments found they were able to replicate the results.His initial research into the various forces mentioned in the title was conducted with subjects who were in a poor state of health. This rendered them more sensitive to the phenomena they reported. Later, Von Reichenbach was able to work with healthy people as well. He found that many were just as sensitive to the phenomena and that this was more widespread than he had thought. This is more a textbook for the serious student of unexplained forces in nature (rather than a scintillating Harry Potter-type read) and, with a little application, the open minded could find that the insight to be gained from this research may be invaluable in the years to come.
