Near Death Experiences: The Science, Psychology and Anthropology Behind the Phenomenon, by Anthony Peake

From the back cover: "In this fascinating book, Peake not only examines the latest neuroscientific hypotheses concerning the physical and psychological aspects of NDEs, but also explores how anthropological studies and spiritual beliefs have contributed to our understanding of them. With pertinent assessments of out-of-body experiences, the panoramic life review and the concept of time distortion, Peake provides a timely consideration of a subject that questions our views of consciousness and reality."
