Science and Extrasensory...

Editors Charles River

Mind-reading. Foretelling the future. The ability to move objects without touching them. Being able to see distant and hidden objects with the mind. To most people, this sounds like the high points of the act of an illusionist, a person who uses trickery to baffle and confuse an audience while performing stage magic to achieve uncanny feats. But we all know these things really are impossible. Aren’t they?
The concept of what has become known as Extrasensory Perception (ESP) has existed for a century. This notion claims that certain seemingly impossible feats can be produced not by tricks but by using the human mind in ways that still aren’t understood. Instances of telepathy, precognition, telekinesis, and remote viewing aren’t confined to magic shows. It’s well known that some people claim to have these abilities. What is less well known is that almost from the time the term ESP was first used, there have been attempts to use scientific investigation to find out whether they are real.
In the beginning, these experiments were conducted by individuals or small organizations regarded as cranks by most members of the mainstream scientific community. Their findings were generally ignored, but that became more difficult in 1995 when previously secret documents were declassified. These revealed that a series of experiments on ESP had been funded by the CIA and DIA that cost millions of dollars and were carried out by respected scientists at Stanford Research International (SRI) in Menlo Park, California over the course of more than 15 years. It was certainly surprising that an American intelligence agency had been willing to fund research on subjects that were silly to most people, but what was perhaps more surprising was that the Soviet Union had already been involved in a very similar series of experiments.

The Monkey That Would Not Kill -...

Henry Drummond

Meet Tricky—the most mischievous (and utterly unkillable!) monkey you’ll ever encounter.
Rescued from a rough start by a kind missionary, this little troublemaker swings from one chaotic escapade to the next, leaving a trail of baffled humans in his wake. Whether escaping hangings, outsmarting sailors, or surviving gunfire (with nothing but a singed tail to show for it!), Tricky’s luck is as uncanny as his antics are outrageous.
But when he lands in the care of a shepherd’s family, his mischief takes an unexpected turn. After saving them from a deadly fire, the once-pesky primate proves that even the cheekiest creatures can become heroes.
A classic, high-spirited adventure—perfect for family listening, road trips, or sneaky laughs after lights-out. Charles Featherstone’s lively narration brings each escapade to life as Tricky outwits angry sailors, dodges impossible scrapes, and, against all odds, emerges as an unlikely champion of chaos and charm.
Long before Curious George swung into mischief, before Ferdinand the Bull refused to fight, and before The One and Only Ivan showed the power of kindness, The Monkey That Would Not Kill introduced readers to literature’s original antihero monkey—a hilarious rebel who defies the jungle’s violent rules.
Rediscover Henry Drummond’s forgotten 1901 classic—a witty, surprisingly modern fable. With themes of nonviolence, empathy, and gentle rebellion, this timeless tale follows the chaos that erupts when one small monkey dares to be different—refusing to bite, steal, or act "like a proper monkey" should. Kids will giggle at Tricky’s uproarious antics, while parents will appreciate the enduring message about individuality and compassion—one that feels as fresh today as it did over a century ago.
A mischievous masterpiece, reborn for a new generation.
