| Summary, etc. |
The author of Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers explores how science has attempted to study our post- mortem fate. Roach traces early psychical research to current US investigations of near-death experiences and case studies by the International Centre for Survival and Reincarnation Researches. The title belies her desire to get scientific validation for free-floating consciousness. |
