Ian Stevenson was a prominent and internationally-known
psychiatrist, researcher, and well-regarded figure in the field of
psychical research. Science, the Self, and Survival after Death is
the first book devoted to surveying the entirety of his work and
the extraordinary scope and variety of his research. He studied
universal questions that cut to the core of a person's identity:
What is consciousness? How did we become the unique individuals
that we are? Do we survive in some form after death? Stevenson's
writings on the nature of science and the mind-body relationship,
as well as his empirical research, demonstrate his strongly held
belief that the methods of science can be applied successfully to
such humanly vital questions. Featuring a selection of his papers
and excerpts from his books, this collection presents the larger
context of Stevenson's work and illustrates the issues and
questions that guided him throughout his career.

The global geopolitics of sport is being transformed in and by East
Asia. Sport in recent decades has been avidly embraced by East
Asian nations, with implications both for their image on the
international stage and their domestic national identities. The
three post-war East Asian Olympic Games, the 'glittering' Guangzhou
Asian Games in 2010 and the march of Asia into the global sport
market illustrate the fact that a new global sports order has
emerged. This collection uniquely discerns the 'tectonic' shift of
global power in the geopolitical, economic, cultural and social
dynamics of sport from West to East. It also reveals 'that the
global empire of commerce' is similarly shifting eastwards. The
chapters, written by leading authorities on East Asia, widens the
focus, advances the knowledge and sharpens the appreciation of both
global sport and regional current transformation in the making and,
in doing so, contributes to an understanding of profound changes in
global sport. This book was originally published as a special issue
of The International Journal of the History of Sport.
Current mainstream opinion in psychology, neuroscience, and
philosophy of mind holds that all aspects of human mind and
consciousness are generated by physical processes occurring in
brains. Views of this sort have dominated recent scholarly
publication. The present volume, however, demonstrates empirically
that this reductive materialism is not only incomplete but false.
The authors systematically marshal evidence for a variety of
psychological phenomena that are extremely difficult, and in some
cases clearly impossible, to account for in conventional
physicalist terms. Topics addressed include phenomena of extreme
psychophysical influence, memory, psychological automatisms and
secondary personality, near-death experiences and allied phenomena,
genius-level creativity, and 'mystical' states of consciousness
both spontaneous and drug-induced. The authors further show that
these rogue phenomena are more readily accommodated by an
alternative 'transmission' or 'filter' theory of mind/brain
relations advanced over a century ago by a largely forgotten
genius, F. W. H. Myers, and developed further by his friend and
colleague William James. This theory, moreover, ratifies the
commonsense conception of human beings as causally effective
conscious agents, and is fully compatible with leading-edge physics
and neuroscience. The book should command the attention of all
open-minded persons concerned with the still-unsolved mysteries of
the mind.
