The first half of the book was more statistical and scientific in nature while the second half, as rightly due such a topic, was spiritual and paranormal. After all none of us knows beyond a doubt what happens after death, no matter our individual beliefs. Being human I took my beliefs and pre-conceived ideas with me into the reading of the second half of the book and as soon as I caught myself doing so I would make a concerted effort keep an open mind. I believe I benefited from the attempt. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
From the burial rites of the earliest humans to the current price of freezing one's dead body, this engaging study confronts the mystery of death, leaving no question unanswered. In Death, Herbie Brennan dissects the biological processes by which people die, delving into the history of plagues, wars, and natural disasters. This fearless exploration also goes beyond the moment of physical death to unravel the mysteries of the afterlife, with chapters on ghosts and near-death experiences. Clear and informative, this book presents a wide array of research, inviting readers to learn the likely causes of death and telling them what to expect in the process. Brennan turns the most frightening concepts into comforting revelations and devotes a good portion of the book to "the good news"-the history of the afterlife, the tranquility of near-death experiences, and how scientific advances are increasing our chances of cheating death. Traveling the world, Brennan reveals the surprising similarities and differences in cultural manifestations of this universal concept. Brennan also explores out-of-body experiences, documented radio communication with the deceased, and telepathy. The result is a comprehensive account from multiple perspectives that is captivating, mysterious, and wonderfully reassuring about this most feared of human experiences.
