Description
"Mind-reading as a form of entertainment gained popularity as performers convinced reporters that they truly could read the thoughts of others. This volume explores this cultural phenomenon, showing how it endured through the years due to public scientific pronouncements, astonishing performances by the thought readers, and the rapidly changing industrial society"--Provided by publisher.
