The Future Of The Human Body - 1992 - Michael Murphy - Hardcover
In the oral and written histories of every culture, there are countless records of men and women who have displayed extraordinary physical, mental, and spiritual capacities. Murphy presents an encyclopedic review of the evidence of both ancient miracles and modern research on the mind’s role in fighting disease and cultivating extraordinary physical abilities. Here we find accounts of mystics and shamans next to medical researchers’ reports on the special sensitivities of the deaf and the blind. Murphy describes in detail how placebos can relieve pain and how meditators can slow their heart rate and psychotherapy can improve overall health.
This is a first edition hardcover book published in 1992 and contains 785 numbered pages. This book is used, however, it has not been read. There is no creasing on the spine and all pages are clean and unmarked. The outer sleeve is worn, but the hardcover is in good condition. A bit of wear at the bottom of the spine due to the weight of the book and sitting in the book shelf for decades. Also some age discoloration on the rim of the pages and a mark or two visible from the top when the book is closed. Overall, for a book some 29 years old, it is in great condition. A rare and collectible book. While we have done our best to describe the condition, please study the photos for a more accurate representation of the state of the book.
