Good used condition. Noticeable shelf wear, cover rubbing, edge wear, and surface scuffing consistent with age and handling. Price sticker remains on the rear cover. Binding appears solid and pages are clean with no writing, highlighting, or missing pages noted. A respectable reading and research copy of an increasingly difficult-to-find title.
This is an important early work by Jenny Randles, one of the most respected UFO investigators in the United Kingdom and later the originator of the well-known "Oz Factor" concept. Co-authored with Peter Warrington, the book represents an attempt to bridge the gap between scientific inquiry and UFO research during a period when serious academic examination of the phenomenon was relatively uncommon.
The book has become increasingly sought after by collectors interested in the history of UFO research, especially works that focus on methodology, evidence evaluation, and the relationship between science and anomalous phenomena.
Science and the UFOs examines the UFO mystery through the lens of scientific investigation rather than sensational claims or simplistic explanations. Randles and Warrington explore government UFO studies, eyewitness reports, physical trace cases, radar incidents, and the challenges researchers face when attempting to study elusive and controversial phenomena.
The authors critically examine both skeptics and believers, arguing that meaningful progress requires careful evidence evaluation, disciplined methodology, and a willingness to investigate unusual reports without preconceived conclusions. Drawing upon government records, scientific principles, and case studies, the book offers a thoughtful assessment of what UFOs may represent and why the subject remains scientifically controversial.
Rather than promoting a single explanation, the authors encourage readers to examine the evidence and consider the broader implications of the phenomenon.
An excellent historical research volume from one of ufology's most respected investigators. Particularly appealing to readers interested in evidence-based UFO research and the evolution of modern UFO studies.
