Strange Talents

This is a book about people with special talents - not especially good or especially bad, but different. In these pages you will find men and women who can tune in to dead composers or take up a long-dead artist's brushes; others who can heal or destroy at a distance, perform surgery without cutting, and walk through flames without even being singed; and yet others who can solve mysteries, communicate at a distance, and move or alter matter using nothing but the power of their own minds. All of these people have one thing in common; their talents, even those grudgingly accepted as real by the scientific community, remain unexplained. The majority of them are ordinary enough, apart from their extraordinary talents, to make us wonder about the possibility of untapped potential in the minds of every one of us.
