Publisher's Synopsis
This book examines prodigies from a "paranormal" viewpoint. Starting with a conjectural introduction about the cause of genius which embraces such concepts as reincarnation and karma, this book exmaines religious prodigies, the miracle-workers from history who were thought to have divine powers such as healing and levitation. The author also looks at historical figures such as Mozart, Einstein and the Bronte sisters as well as the dark side - child murderers for example. The story is brought up to date with cases like Uri Geller, Matthew Manning, and contemporary child prodigies - musicians, artists and disabled children with special talents. Finally, the book sums up with evidence about the psychology of prodigies and what we can learn from them.
