Is There Life After Death?

The Latest Evidence Analysed

Edición de la obra Is There Life After Death?

The author conducts a sustained debate with himself on the evidence for and against survival. The reader plays jury as the author adopts, alternately, the stance of ardent critic and ardent advocate. A range of experiments, happenings, research and a variety of beliefs are unfolded for examination in scientific, psychological, philosophical, social and even political terms. Central to the debate is the question: What is admissible evidence for survival? Near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, poltergeist phenomena, phantom sightings -- all are possible candidates, but the author carefully selects those cases that are most fully documented and have occurred within reach of cameras, recording machines and critical bystanders. In the last chapter he transcends the adversary approach to suggest that the more we understand the universe and ourselves, the more obvious it becomes that what we call " death" is not the end of life.
