Reviews
From the book reviews:
"This book is an expanded version of a German work published in 2011. ... The book is very well written and illustrated with many pictures to simplify the author's discussion; it will be accessible to a wide audience. Summing Up: Recommended. All academic and general library collections." (D. S. Paulson, Choice, Vol. 52 (5), January, 2015)
"Birk Engmann has written a clear, engaging, scholarly account of selected research and provides his perspectives on near-death experiences (NDEs). ... Engmann approaches the topic as a skeptic who challenges popular conclusions that NDEs represent metaphysical glimpses into an afterlife or proof that consciousness exists separate from a person's physical body. His approach is sufficiently scholarly to be rigorous and should be clearly understandable by both professionals and an educated, nonprofessional audience." (Gary Groth-Marnat, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 59 (30), July, 2014)
