Publisher's Synopsis
Life after death? This question concerns us all. But we simply do not know the right questions to ask about events and experiences presented to us as proof of life after death. We just don't know how to ap�proach this subject. Drawing on his experience as a leading survival researcher, Berger shows us what questions to ask and what alternative explanations we need to consider in order to make a balanced judgment. "Berger ...takes pains to show the whole range of laypersons' reports, from the very weak and ridiculous to the best classics in the literature. This is useful for the lay-reader, who needs to realize the degree to which misconceptions exist amid the well-intentioned reports, ...Berger's book serves a useful purpose." -- Karlis Osis, Ph.D. Research Director, American Society for Psychical Research. "this book is one to recommend...a valuable one ...as an introduction to the art of thinking critically about anomalous phenomena, it should serve many readers very well." --Emily Williams Cook, Ph.D., Division of Personality Studies, University of Virginia Health Sciences Center
