Book Description

Carol Zaleski’s book is the first objective, comprehensive survey of the mass of evidence surrounding near-death experiences: the extraordinary visions and ecstatic feelings reported by people who have survived a close brush with death. Comparing recent near-death narratives with those of a much earlier period she finds both profound similarities and striking contrasts.

Editorial Reviews

Review

‘ An extremely interesting piece of work, and one that offers many shrewd insights.’ New York Times

‘one of those books which … has elegance and readability in direct proportion to its historical and anthropological learning … whether one is wired to accept a religious or a hardcore naturalist interpretation of the constancy of such intimations, it is good to know they may be there.’ City Limits
