Description:
1854 1ed Spirit Manifestations Occult Psychology Mesmerism Druids Mediums DodsJohn Bovee Dods was a 19th-century philosopher known for his studies and beliefs in spiritualism and mesmerism. One of his best works was 'Spirit Manifestations Examined and Explained' – a series of his lectures on his experiences in the supernatural and spiritual world. Dods claims that the phenomena of the spirit world, while genuine and real, is a result of 'electrical psychology' (a term related to animal magnetism coined by Dods himself).
More specifically in these lectures, Dods covers:
·
Involuntary movements and instincts in humans
·
Communications of mediums
·
Authenticity of the Bible, concerning spiritualism
·
Habits and pagan acts by ancient tribes – Druids, Romans, Greeks, etc.

WINNER OF THE PEGASUS PRIZE FOR LITERATURE AND THE BOOKER PRIZE. Used. Very Good/Very Good unclipped original $17.95 dust jacket. Summary: "The Bone People, first published in 1984 by Spiral, New Zealand. About this book: The Bone People is an unusual story of love. It is unusual in the telling, the subject matter, and the form of love that the story depicts. This is in no way a romance; it is filled with violence, fear, and twisted emotions. At the story's core, however, are three people who struggle very hard to figure out what love is and how to find it. Hulme won New Zealand's Pegasus Prize for Literature (1984) for The Bone People. Then the book went on to win the prestigious Booker Prize (1985).
