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

who believes in horoscopes or paranormally bent cutlery, and by sceptics who
support Richard Dawkins’s biology-based atheism, but dislike his abrasive
style.
