Life After Death: Some of the Best Evidence
3 reviews
Jan W Vandersande PhD
Outskirts Press
, 2008
Getting to the Truth of the Matter
For nearly 160 years, maverick scientists and scholars have been providing very credible evidence that consciousness survives physical death and continues on in other realms of existence. The legal doctrine of Res Judicata - it has been decided - could have been invoked 100 years ago when esteemed scientists and scholars like Sir William Crookes, Sir Oliver Lodge, Sir William Barrett, and Dr. ...
Life After Life: The Investigation of a Phenomenon--Survival of Bodily Death
65 reviews
Raymond Moody
HarperOne
, 2001
Very Interesting, a must read for everyone
I didn't buy this book, I got it free with a mark on the front from a used book store. It was well worn, but I wanted to read it. I did a few years ago and it remains in my collection. It was very interesting. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in feeling as though they have evidence of the after life. In fact, I'm going to buy a new copy for myself and leave my copy on the same ...
Life After Death: The Burden of Proof
95 reviews
Deepak Chopra
Three Rivers Press
, 2008
I did not want to like it- yet it won me over.
I initially wanted to write this book off as yet another potboiler of spiritual materialism. I was predisposed to reject it as another cheapening of deep and profound matters in order to turn a buck. Then I forced myself to actually read it. I found that it fit with my own hard won views on the subject. There was certainly no cheapening of spiritual matters here. In fact, I wish to add a copy of ...

Just here trying to save a few lives
This was an excellent book, great material and well written. You could actually put yourself in the authors shoes.

Excellent
I lost my husband this past year and have searched for reading material that helps me find my "new normal." I found this book to be most helpful.

Wadsworth Publishing
, 2008
Completely worthless
How do I even start on this book? A text for a class in college I bought this book looking forward to it, despite the drear subject. As the class progressed I found this book to contain contradicting information in many areas. In addition to this, the graphs are completely unintelligible, even our prof. gave up trying to make sense of them. The book also doesn't discuss the psychology of dying, ...
Life and Death in the Third Reich
3 reviews
Peter Fritzsche
Belknap Press
, 2008
A lucid explanation of the unthinkable
It's never sat well with me--not really--because no one thing can explain or excuse it. Were the German people stupid? Brainwashed? Intrinsically evil? Forced into obeyance? Ignorant, and thus brutal? Victims, and thus innocent? Just how DO you descend from the most sophisticated society on earth to the ultimate symbol of evil, all in only a handful of years? Mr. Fritzsche answers my ...
Life and Death in Shanghai
123 reviews
Nien Cheng
Penguin
, 1988
Outstanding
Nien Chang's account of her encounter with the Cultural Revolution is the best book of this kind that I recall. Many others have written about their experiences, some in memoir form, others in fictionalized form. NC's is the most accessible to the Western reader, she can relate to our expectations better than some of the others, and she writes more specifically for a Western audience. Her ...

Great read
I bought this book as a required reading for school. It was very easy to read and covered many interesting topics. I would recommend this book to anyone that is interested in learning more about the urban environment.
Matters of Life and Death: A Jewish Approach to Modern Medical Ethics
2 reviews
Elliot N. Dorff
Jewish Publication Society of America
, 2004
A Jewish anchor to issues at the beginning and end of life
Rabbi Elliot Dorff has lectured widely on medical and bioethics facing moderns: artificial insemination, abortion, adoption, prolonging life artificially, organ donation, and more. In this book, he compiles his years of research into a cogent and accessible discussion of Jewish law to provide a profoundly human approach to some of the most difficult aspects of life any of us will ever ...
Messages: Evidence for Life after Death

Gary Schwartz
Hampton Roads Publishing Company
, 2002
can't recommend enough
I was given messages when a co-worker caught me, in an unhappy state, reading 'the celestine prophecy' on my lunch break. She said if I wanted to read something a little more real, she had the perfect book. One week later, having breezed through Dalzell's well-written memoir I couldn't be happier. Books like 'Celestine' are in the practice of selling us spiritual ideas from fathomed locations ...
On the Ridge Between Life and Death: A Climbing Life Reexamined
9 reviews
David Roberts
Simon & Schuster
, 2006
Is it worth the risk
I'm a climber only in the sense that I have paid guides to lead me up big mountains, which in the climbing world doesn't count for much. But I have been cold and afraid in the mountains, enough to appreciate what Roberts is talking about. A few days before what was my biggest climb, I met a young Argentine who would die a few days later on Alpamayo. We heard the news on the radio our Peruvian ...

Howard Storm
Doubleday
, 2005
Everyone should read this book!!
I loved this book. I think every human being should read this. Really let's you see what's important in life and what's not. This is a wonderful glimpse of the other side. It's easy to read and such an encouragement.
A Life and Death Decision: A Jury Weighs the Death Penalty
6 reviews
Scott E. Sundby
Palgrave Macmillan
, 2007
An absorbing, informative and important book
Sundby's book takes the reader beyond abstractions about how capital punishment decisions are made, and provides a rare and consistently fascinating account of how two actual juries reach their decisions. The book is filled with insights about the legal and emotional dynamics of the jury room and the courtroom in death penalty cases. It pulls off a couple of very difficult feats. It treats all ...
Life After Death: Living Proof
4 reviews
Tom Harrison
Saturday Night Press Publications
, 2008
not for the spiritually challenged
As the prior reviewer suggests, this book will exceed the boggle threshold of nearly everyone. Had I read it 10-15 years ago, before reading the works of Sir William Crookes, Dr. Charles Richet, Dr. Hamlin Garland, Dr. Harry Price, and other reputable researchers who closely observed similar phenomena, I would not have believed it and probably would not have finished the book. But unless one is ...
Life and Death: Grappling with the Moral Dilemmas of Our Time
1 review
Louis P. Pojman
Wadsworth Publishing
, 1999
Pojman sucks
The book, at its best, is easy to read for a philosophy book. I have it as a textbook for a Death, Dying, and the Quality of Life class. I am an A student. The concepts Pojman explores are not done justice by his writing. He misses the point in several places, or the view he gives is not widely accepted as accurate. If you are buying this book for pleasure, do yourself a favor and don't. There ...
Facing Death and the Life After
2 reviews
Billy Graham
W Pub Group
, 1987
A Must Have for believers and anyone still in doubt.
Here is one of the few perfect books on a subject that affects all of us. Dr. Graham's insights and explanations about the inevitable time that each person faces offers emotional and spiritual reassurance that death isn't to be dreaded, or welcomed over life, but accepted as a PART of life. But more importantly, the main point that Dr. Graham weaves throughout each of the detailed and ...
Life and Death are Wearing Me Out: A Novel
3 reviews
Mo Yan
Arcade Publishing
, 2008
Masterpiece
This book is written masterfully and encompasses a half century with sorrow and wit. Mo Yan is brilliant and the world he creates is both real and fantastical, while never settling for sentiment or fabulism. The only complaint I have about this book is the number of typos, which ranged from missed periods to misspelled words to forgetting page breaks between voices. I imagine Arcade Publishing is ...
Life and Death on Mt. Everest: Sherpas and Himalayan Mountaineering
8 reviews
Sherry B. Ortner
Princeton University Press
, 2001
Sometimes good things come in miswrapped packages...
Although Life and Death on Mt. Everest is a book with an identity crisis, it is nonetheless a fascinating work that should interest armchair adventurers and mountaineers alike. Despite the title, parts of the jacket flap blurb, and even the quotes on the back, Life and Death is really an anthropological examination of mountaineering and the Sherpa-Sahib (author's term) relationship, within the ...
