Dr Rupert Sheldrake’s latest book, The Science Delusion, was published by Coronet this month. However, let us go back to Rupert Sheldrake’s earlier work, originally published in the 1980s, to see where his interest in critiquing modern science began.

Icon has published two fully revised and updated editions of Sheldrake’s seminal work. His theory of morphic resonance in The Presence of the Past challenges the fundamental assumptions of modern science. The second edition of The Presence of the Past summarizes the evidence for Sheldrake’s controversial theory, reviews new research, and explores its implications for biology, chemistry, physics, psychology and sociology. A Science of New Life was Seldrake’s first book, where he introduced the theory of morphic resonance. Described as ‘the best candidate for burning there has been for many years’ by Nature on first publication, this updated edition will raise hackles and inspire curiosity in equal measure.
