 Russell
Targ is a physicist and author who was a pioneer in the development of
the laser and laser applications, and was co-founder of the Stanford
Research Institute’s investigation into psychic abilities in the 1970s
and 1980s. His work in this new area, called remote viewing, was
published in Nature, The Proceedings of the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Proceedings of the American
Association for the Advancement of Science. Targ has a B.S. in Physics
from Queens College, and did graduate work in physics at Columbia
University. He received two National Aeronautics and Space
Administration awards for inventions and contributions in lasers and
laser communications; and invitations were accepted in 1983 and 1984
to present remote viewing demonstrations, and to address the USSR
Academy of Sciences on this research. He is co-author of five books
dealing with the scientific investigation of psychic abilities:
Mind Reach: Scientists Look at Psychic Abilities, The Mind Race:
Understanding and Using Psychic Abilities, Mind at Large: Institute of
Electronics and Electrical Engineers Symposium on the Nature of
Extrasensory Perception and most recently, Heart of the Mind:
How to know God without belief, and Miracles of Mind: Exploring
nonlocal consciousness and spiritual healing. In 1997 Targ retired
from Lockheed Martin Missiles & Space Co. as a senior staff scientist,
where he developed airborne laser systems for the detection of wind
shear.
He now pursues ESP research in Palo Alto, California, and is
also publishing special editions of classic books is psychical
research. The series represents the very best books from a century of
groundbreaking research into the limitless potential of human
consciousness. Details can be found here.
