In Search of the Dead

BCA (by arrangement with BBC Books), London, 1993. Reprint. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Very Good. For over a century, scientists have searched for proof that man survives death. In this book, and the BBC2 television series which it accompanies, Jeffrey Iverson looks for evidence of an after-life. Enquiries into the existence of psi powers which survive death of the brain include experiments in viewing at a distance where the odds against guessing correctly are billions to one, and the story of a team of psychics, led by a parapsychologist, who saw the infamous New York 'Son of Sam' killer. The author delves into mediums, seances and apparitions, including the incident of the ghostly warning that may have saved a ship in the 1942 Siege of Malta. He asks whether near-death experiences are the hallucinations of a dying brain, or whether those close to death actually leave their bodies. And are there children who can prove they have lived before Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xii + 212. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact.
