One handwritten note on first page, otherwise new condition. The First Near-Death-Experience Research to Be Based on a Large-Scale Database of Testimonies "Long and Perry have done a phenomenal job in clarifying current events in the study of near-death experiences. Dr. Long's work is leading us closer to a rational solution of the afterlife mystery." -Raymond Moody, MD, PhD, author of Life After Life In Evidence of the Afterlife, radiation oncologist Jeffrey Long presents the findings of the Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF) and shares firsthand accounts of those people who have died and lived to tell about it. According to Long, "Near-death experiences (NDEs) are real. Experiencers frequently report seeing or hearing events while uncon-scious, often geographically distant from their body. No physiological or psychological explanation of NDEs can account for this. There is currently more scientific evidence to the reality of NDEs than there is for how to effectively treat certain forms of cancer." Dr. Long breaks down his evidence into nine categories, such as the remarkable consistency of the details of NDEs around the world, the accuracy of the life reviews that occur during NDEs, and the transformational effect these experiences have on the lives of those who have them. Long concludes that we now possess the most compelling evidence for life beyond death ever compiled.
