Fringe-ology

How I Tried to Explain Away the Unexplainable-And Couldn't

Talking Points

This book will appeal to anyone curious but cautious about reports of paranormal experiences or psi phenomena, who has wondered about the existence of life after death, intelligence on other planets, extrasensory perception, or has had a curiosity about the furthest boundaries of what’s possible.

Description

Fringe-ology is a rollicking narrative journey into the unexplored territory where modern science and the paranormal converge. In it, reporter Steve Volk peeks over an anesthesiologist’s shoulder as he claps a mask over a patient’s face and leads us on an exploration of the deepest realm of our being. He sits beside a world famous psychologist whose research entailed watching patients die, and who concluded that death is not the end, a belief that set her own legendary career aflame. He pores over psychical research conducted by military scientists that concluded psi-phenomenon exists, and watches quantum physicists battle over the results. He offers intimate accounts of individuals who have life-changing paranormal experiences, but because of modern social stigmas must be very discreet about sharing them.
