One of the authors is also an ex-cop and there is even a chapter on media and policing ... Trash pur !!! However, this book offers in landscaped optics a great overview of almost all topics of interest relating to the afterlife and is also with ghosts and tape recordings, strange images, etc. apart. Only there throughout the book, of course no proof and the usual platitudes of an afterlife or contact with the deceased. Some topics are so superficially touched that for critical analysis not only is not a place, but the reader is demanded much faith.
Conclusion: There are worse in the market, but certainly better as Pim van Rommel's standard work "Endless consciousness", but which is an ordinary tome.
The "Everything to ..." series is almost similar to the Dummies series, and so the book remains "The Afterlife for Dummies".
