Nicholas Humphrey’s Soul Searching (Vintage, £6.99, ISBN 0 09 927341 1)
now out in paperback is an urbane, original, convincing rebuttal of paranormal
and supernatural notions. It should be read by all religious persons, by anyone
who believes in horoscopes or paranormally bent cutlery, and by sceptics who
support Richard Dawkins’s biology-based atheism, but dislike his abrasive
style.
