This is the book that put Rupert Sheldrake in the limelight and ruined his reputation with ordinary biologists. He shows that there is a learning effect in nature (the theory of morpho-genetic fields) that applies to species as a whole.

- Rupert Sheldrake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Sheldrake was born and grew up in Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire.[4] Sheldrake studied biochemistry at the Clare College, Cambridge, graduating with a double First Class honours degree. He was a Frank Knox fellow at Harvard, studying philosophy and history. He returned to Cambridge where he gained a PhD in biochemistry and was a Fellow at Clare College. He was a Research Fellow of the Royal Society. He later went to Hyderabad, India. For a year and a half he lived in the ashram of Bede Griffiths.[4][5] In September 2005, Sheldrake received the Perrott-Warwick Scholarship for psychical research and parapsychology, which is administered by Trinity College, Cambridge.[5][6]
- Morphic field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Morphic field is a term introduced by British biologist Rupert Sheldrake.

- Morphic Fields and the Memory of Nature
Most biologists take it for granted that living organisms are nothing but complex machines, governed only by the known laws of physics and chemistry. I myself used to share this point of view. - Staring Effect and Rupert Sheldrake (Skeptical Inquirer September 2000)
- Rupert Sheldrake claims that people can tell when somebody is staring at them. Unfortunately the sequences used in Sheldrake's research are not properly randomized. When random sequences are used people can detect staring at no better than chance rates.
- Rupert Sheldrake Interview
- I did biology because I was interested in animals and plants, and because my father was a biologist. He was a natural historian of the old school, with a microscope room at home and cabinets.

- I hope others continue to test and challenge his theories. He reminds me very much of Jung (where I first read the "expanded consciousness is the cause of telepathy" theory), but Jung only gathered evidence anecdotally, whereas these repeated experiments -- if they use proper scientific procedures and controls -- could yield some very interesting data. The sisters with the phone experiment looked like it was making sure that the researchers were giving the sisters no clues, and the random die roll was a good control... that experiment, in particular, is astonishing!

- I concur with the editor of "Science" that Sheldrake is promoting pseudoscience, and people should be warned about his wacky, unsubstantiated theories. He spent too much time in the ashram in India, and lost all of his critical abilities to some fuzzy, spiritualistic way of thinking that he learned there. Poor Sheldrake!
