It’s useful to have a collection of articles from the US journal Skeptical Inquirer, the indefatigable reporter of investigation of claims of paranormal activities. Over four hundred pages long, Encounters with the Paranormal is more than can be stomached at one sitting, so it’s best used to dip into for subjects such as false memory, creationism and, inevitably, UFOs. The articles, which are indexed, vary in style from scientific papers to popular essays. Published by Prometheus Books, $22.95, ISBN 157392203X.
