Book excerpt: This book is intended for anyone interested in psychological research, parapsychological topics, and students and teachers who are participating in psychology research methods courses. The book compares and contrasts the methodologies and approaches used by psychological scientists with those used by parapsychologists. In addition to covering the basics of correlational research, experimental research, and statistics, the book also discusses the often-fascinating intersection of psychology and parapsychology throughout history. Among other topics covered, readers will learn of William James' involvement in a club of paranormal enthusiasts, the oddball world of ghost hunting, and Stanford's history with psychic experiments. Readers will learn what differentiates science from pseudoscience and hopefully also learn a little about the nature of belief itself.

A huge potential of medicinal plants in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, as well as an overview of some plants and their families with their applications in drugs discovery, are highlighted in chapter three, which is also including an information on extraction techniques used for the development and creation of a natural products. Even if herbal formulations are generally expected to be safe because they are ''natural'', it is crucial to understand that some medicinal plants demonstrate a specific toxicity, which must be considered during the formulation, development and manufacturing of the novel herbal pharmaceuticals, diet supplements, beauty care and other products as well.
