Explaining the Paranormal

Ghosts. Telepathy. UFOs. Are they real—or is there another explanation? In Explaining the Paranormal, young readers explore the science behind strange experiences and mysterious claims. Drawing from thought-provoking articles in Scientific American, this collection examines how psychology, neuroscience, physics, and critical thinking can shed light on the seemingly unexplainable. From haunted houses to out-of-body experiences, this book challenges teens to ask questions, seek evidence, and discover what science can—and can't—tell us about the unknown.
