The Afterlife Experiments: Breakthrough Scientific Evidence of Life After Death

by Gary E. Schwartz

Average Rating:

"If you've lost a loved one, if you are a fan of Jonathan Edwards or James Van Pragh or Sylvia Browne, this book will be a pleasure. The book reports on scientific findings about consciousness after death from the University of Arizona Laboratory of Gary Schwartz, former Yale and Harvard professor. ..."

Ghost Hunters: William James and the Search for Scientific Proof of Life After Death

by Deborah Blum

Average Rating:

"Ms Blum has written a wonderful story of a heroic group of people, scientests who believed that science should explore and, if possible, test the supernatural. They endured ridicule and scorn from other scientests who believed that science should deal only with what could be seen and heard and from religious leaders who believed that scientests should leave the supernatural to them. ..."

Unconventional Flying Objects: A Scientific Analysis

by Paul R. Hill

Average Rating:

"This book doesn't really need another 5 star review. But it deserves one, so here I go. This book is utterly unique within the UFO literature in that it is the only pro-UFO book that actually does the math. The late author was a NASA engineer who saw enough evidence for UFOs (including personal observations) to take their existence as a given. ..."

Apocalypse 2012: A Scientific Investigation into Civilization's End

by Lawrence E. Joseph

Average Rating:

"Never have I been so aware of an author's shortcomings - both in terms of knowledge and writing - while reading a book. With Apocalypse 2012, Joseph has pieced together one of the odder literary offerings I've ever come across.

For starters, the book jumps frenetically from one topic to another with nary a transition to be found. ..."

Paranormal Investigation: Ghost Hunting Using Scientific Methods

by J. Atencio

Average Rating:

"I was expecting something with a little more "meat" - this book is described as having 162 pages. Please be aware this is a tiny pocketbook and the text could easily fit on 40 regular-size pages. The amount of content is not worth the price of the book. In all seriousness, I've found more valuable information for free on the Internet. ..."

Our Invisible Bodies: Scientific Evidence for Subtle Bodies

by Jay Alfred

Average Rating:

"The first few pages are worth the price of this book. The author gives a masterful presentation of astronomical evidence for massive and invisible "dark matter" structures on a galactic scale, everyone will learn something new here, tantalizingly juxtaposed to the subject of our own invisible (energy) bodies. According to this evidence, more than 90% of the mass of our universe is invisible, i.e. ..."

Nature's Open Secret : Introductions to Goethe's Scientific Writings (Classics in Anthroposophy)

by Rudolf Steiner

Average Rating:

The holistic paradigm, Gaia, deep ecology, new alchemy, all have a hidden ancestor: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832). At the young age of twenty-one, Rudolf Steiner was chosen to edit Goethe's scientific writings for a new collection of Goethe's complete works. Goethe's literary genius was already universally acknowledged; it was Steiner's task to understand and comment on Goethe's unique scientific achievement. ...

Alternative Science: Challenging the Myths of the Scientific Establishment

by Richard Milton

Average Rating:

"Many readers are shocked to learn that there exists an orthodoxy within the scientific community that viciously attacks theories outside the mainstream, as well as those scientists daring to research "heretical" ideas. The objectivity inherent in the scientific method cannot control human biases and machinations, however. Science has its share of fanatical, dogmatic defenders of "accepted truth" whose inquisitorial skills are neatly disguised through technical jargon and reductionist logic. ..."

The Deepening Complexity of Crop Circles: Scientific Research and Urban Legends

by Eltjo Haselhoff

Average Rating:

"I have read the Italian version of this book, and I am surprised by the earlier review, which states that "75% of the time, the author tried to tell us that the phenomena is true through some of his personal (non-scientific) experiences." This is simply not true, and I don't think it is fair to write this in a book review. ..."
