This is an amazing book. It is beautifully designed, so that each page pulls you right in. The insert boxes make it easy to learn new things quickly, and the text itself is amazingly comprehensive and easy to read. The author has done extensive research in a field that, as she says, "straddles religion and mysticism, science and biology, consciousness and the supernatural." It is the kind of book you can dip into to gain a lot of information in a short time, or sit down with and stay engrossed for several hours. I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in Near Death Experiences, other altered states of consciousness, and our human evolution in consciousness

Lately I have noticed that not much new material was out there for a while on Near Death Experiences, till this book. PMH Atwater has done another fine job of bringing information to the table on NDE. This book is very structured and is not just a list of inspirational stories like many other books. It shows many, many different types of NDEs and what may build to cause them and also what may happen afterwards such as aftereffects.

Points out Skeptics points of views, the history of NDEs, even NDE humor.

If your a Believer, Non Believer or just Curious, once you start this book it will make you say, Ok you have my attention!
