Reseña del libro "The Credibility Of Dowsing: Scientific Proof Of Water Dowsing (en Inglés)"
Skeptics say that dowsing has not been proven to work. They are wrong.Many years ago, William Barrett, Professor of Physics at what was later to become University College Dublin, embarked on the most detailed review and analysis of water dowsing ever undertaken. Originally a skeptic, he found enough unexplainable anomalies to intrigue him into diving deeper. At first, he hoped simply to disprove the whole activity once and for all.He examined the scientific objections to water dowsing, made meticulous and innumerable inquiries into reported cases, sought geologists' opinions and gradually came to realize that this was a subject with deep implications.The result was the most complete and thorough investigation of water dowsing ever undertaken. Unsurpassed in its detail and scientific vigor, the two papers he wrote (a promised third never materialized), are here presented for the first time as a complete work, including all illustrations and appendices. An index has also been compiled to help navigate this extensive work.For water dowsers everywhere, indeed, for anyone interested in the dowsing phenomenon, this is a remarkable study. In sheer scope, detail and analysis, no other investigation can begin to approach it.Packed with letters, stories, and examples from around the world, Professor Barrett makes it quite clear that the dowsing phenomenon is real and that it opens up new vistas on what it is to be human.In addition to the in-depth investigation, you will discover a fascinating history of dowsing as well as the only careful study of the origin of the word itself. Professor Barrett's work is long due the respect it deserves, and this compilation of his years of study, research and experimentation should help to bring that about. Edited and commentary by Nigel Percy.
