What happens when we die? Does the light just go out and that's thatthe million-year nap? Or will some part of my personality, my me-ness persist? What will that feel like? What will I do all day? Is there a place to plug in my lap-top?" In an attempt to find out, Mary Roach brings her tireless curiosity to bear on an array of contemporary and historical soul-searchers: scientists, schemers, engineers, mediums, all trying to prove (or disprove) that life goes on after we die. She begins the journey in rural India with a reincarnation researcher and ends up in a University of Virginia operating room where cardiologists have installed equipment near the ceiling to study out-of-body near-death experiences. Along the way, she enrolls in an English medium school, gets electromagnetically haunted at a university in Ontario, and visits a Duke University professor with a plan to weigh the consciousness of a leech. Her historical wanderings unearth soul-seeking philosophers who rummaged through cadavers and calves' heads, a North Carolina lawsuit that established legal precedence for ghosts, and the last surviving sample of "ectoplasm" in a Cambridge University archive.

Vampires are beings of myth: folkloric creatures who live off the blood of the living and have been recorded in nearly every culture around the world since the beginning of man. This work traces the evolution of the vampire, from its roots in ancient mythology to obscure folk tales and legends, leading up to when these foul beings transformed into the suave Byronic heroes that continue to influence the world s view of the vampire today. It also examines key individuals in history involved in reshaping our concept of the creature. Popular culture is explored, along with the development of the vampire into the protagonist in plays and poems and novels.

Zack Heikel buys on a whim an old abandoned mansion and after moving in, he stumbles upon an enormous vault hidden in a secret room in the basement. After using an acetylene torch to gain entry, he finds four million dollars in cash, along with journal records from illegal rackets in the Chicago and Detroit areas in the 1930's. More surprising was a jar of formaldehyde containing nine severed human fingers, three of which wore a very unusual silver signet ring. An ancient manuscript found among the rubble in an upstairs library explains the rings and also spoke of an order of men from biblical times calling themselves "The Knights of Zion." Zack spends years trying to find answers to these mysteries woven into the old mansion as well as why it was built the way it was and who is the old hunchback caretaker that still lives in a shack on the rear of the property.

This fascinating and insightful tour through present-day meetings of Spiritualists, UFOlogists, and dowsers illuminates our obsession with the paranormal and challenges the misunderstanding of the paranormal as a marginal or inconsequential feature of America's religious landscape. According to a 2005 Gallup poll, 75 percent of Americans believe in some form of paranormal activity. The United States has had a collective fascination with the paranormal since the mid-1800s, and it remains an integral part of our culture. Haunted Ground: Journeys through a Paranormal America examines three of the most vibrant paranormal gatherings in the United States-Lily Dale, a Spiritualist summer camp; the Roswell UFO Festival; and the American Society of Dowsers' annual convention of "water witches"-to explore and explain the reasons for our obsession with the paranormal. Both academically informed and thoroughly entertaining, this book takes readers on a "road trip" through our nation, guided by professor of American religion Darryl V. Caterine, PhD. The author interprets seemingly unrelated case studies of phantasmagoria collectively as an integral part of the modern discourse about "nature" as ultimate reality. Along the way, Dr. Caterine reveals how Americans' interest in the paranormal is rooted in their anxieties about cultural, political, and economic instability-and in a historic sense of alienation and homelessness.

Your body is a magnificent living, self-healing ecosystem that is under siege by toxic man-made chemicals. Our connection with nature is being disrupted at the "quorum" cell language level of microbes so we cannot maintain clean, healthy ecosystem functions.

Did you know that your cells are hardwired for superhealing at the quorum cell level, a level ten times more powerful than stem cells-and that the future of our victory over disease in this dominant medical-profit system depends on your restoring the ability of your cells to talk to one another?

Quorum Superhealing puts together a sober picture of how man-made chemicals are disrupting quorum cell-to-cell communication so you stay overweight, inflamed and sick.

Dr. Paul Yanick, who survived two nearly-fatal diseases, reveals the shocking truth of how man-made pharmaceuticals and chemicals shut down his kidneys at the age of twenty and evoked near-fatal cancer. At the brink of death, he saved his life by restoring the quorum language of cells. His terrifying experiences became the catalyst for decades of research and this book which tells an amazing story of how some of the worst, most-feared diseases can be conquered by restoring quorum superhealing.

How do you get familiar and comfortable with trusting yourself so you doubt less or better, not at all? How do you get the courage to do what you genuinely prefer or desire the most, without being afraid nor worried too often?

What must happen for you to own your courage and self-trust in your everyday living, with the normal pressures and challenges distracting you? How do you genuinely follow your heart's choice without losing yourself for too long in your mind?

The brutal truth; only when you stop frequently doubting yourself will you get your true natural guide from within. The genuine 'You' shows up the more you get out of your own way, especially without one's reappearing limiting thoughts. You are then able to do more and even bigger things. In this new realised self-trust, you will find the courage towards what scares you the most, which in turn creates more naturally incredible things in one's life now not later, and usually beyond thinking belief, and by default others also benefit. How can you get there and flow onwards pragmatically? How exactly do you access yourself, especially to do the things that scare you but you feel you must? These real questions are what this book brings out and answers - sometimes radical, sometimes humorous, but always thought provoking.
