Description
At the age of 74, John Lilly stood as the twentieth century's foremost scientific pioneer of the inner and outer limits of human experience. He is a relentless adventurer whose "search for Reality" has led him repeatedly to risk life and limb, but whose quests have resulted in astonishing insights into what it means to be a human being in an ever more mysterious universe.

Summary
John C. Lilly M.D. is an unparalleled scientific visionary and explorer who has made significant contributions to psychology, brain research, computer theory, medicine, ethics and interspecies communication. Lilly's extraordinary work with dolphins launched a global interest in dolphins and whales. His interest in the nature of human consciousness led him to invent the sensory-deprivation isolation tank. Today John Lilly stands as the twentieth century's foremost scientific pioneer of the inner and outer limits of human experience.

Excerpt
"He still urges us to learn to communicate with large-brained "extrahumans"-dolphins, whales, and elephants-so that we will be prepared to communicate intelligently with extraterrestrials." - p272
