Superb

What can I say, as always Lyall Watson is a great read. My favorite author on nature and Her ways.

Very interesting book.

A lot of stuff in this book will make you want to read it over again, thinking "really?" Interestingly, quite a bit of it is based in fact, while the speculation of the author, while not scientific or proving anything, adds to the sense of what this book is about: there is more that we don't know in science than we do know. Books like these are important to keep "main stream" scientists honest, and while the author may be ridiculed, it's unwarranted unless proven false. Last I checked, you can't prove a negative... so perhaps someday we can explain what other scientists say is impossible. Because today, there are simply too many topics in science that we can't explain (and our best guesses are pretty poorly defined)... This book delves into what hasn't been explained, but unfortunately, the desire to know the answers of the authors questions is a bit frustrating, because nobody knows (yet.)

A fascinating look at our environment

Supernature was simply amazing. The quality of the research conducted by the author is superb and has lead to a truly fascinating read. In exploring the supernatural world, Lyall Watson explores the concepts of ESP, physchokinesis and telepathy within nature. His explanations are concise and easy to understand, contributing to the enormous amount of material he has found. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in zoology, engineering, psychoanalysis, or anyone for that matter. Ranging from plants that can detect the death of a snail, to apparently "psychic" clams, this book will definitely give you a new insight into your world.
