This is a fascinating book! NOT sensationalised, but actually science. Focuses on the spearhead investigator in this area, Dr. Ian Stevenson (not a crackpot). Nicely written. I love this book--mine is a keeper.

Interesting book about a man investigating past life phenomena as experienced by children. I had to read this when a child in my preschool class talked about living with dinosaurs "when she lived here before"...

Well written excellent read. This book was written by journalist who accompanied Dr Ian Stevenson on his last two trips, investigating the phenomena of children who seem to remember a previous life.
Tom Shroder (author) does not hesitate to bring all sides to this story, including his own skepticism and the hard knocks of the cases that just don't add up. But he also documents all the compelling instances that really should have people looking closer at the subject of reincarnation. The book discusses scientific process as well as the plain mystery of life that boggles even science. Not a dull read, we are brought right into the emotion of the matter.
This book does not "demand" you to change your mind, does not "evangelize": it just naturally engages your brain, heart and interest giving you the information to reach your own concussions.
