In 1979, Bob Jahn and Brenda Dunne, two individuals with vastly different backgrounds, experiences, and styles, and who had little in common beyond a shared vision, joined forces to create the unique scholarly enterprise that became the PEAR laboratory at Princeton University's Engineering School. Over the next 28 years their "molecular bond," with its associated complementarity, provided the foundation for a remarkable personal friendship and creative professional partnership. Just as it is only in the interaction of the constituent "atoms" in a physical molecule that the characteristics of the unified system become apparent, this book attempts to capture the magic, and the humor, of that dynamic bond through an assortment of vignettes that illustrate their shared voyage of discovery. "One of the most productive collaborations in modern science is that of Robert G. Jahn and Brenda J. Dunne for three decades at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) Laboratory. The spectacular, prolific results of their joint research is indirect evidence of their premise that subjectivity and emotional closeness can shape the physical world. At a moment when our understanding of consciousness is finally emerging from the ideology of materialism, the key lessons from the Jahn-Dunne collaboration provide vital guidance for humanity's future." - Larry Dossey, MD, Executive Editor of Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing and author of One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It Matters - Barbara Dossey, PhD, RN, author of Nurse Coaching and Holistic Nursing
