E-Book Overview
THE PROVOCATIVE BESTSELLER--THE MOST RIVETING ACCOUNT EVER PUBLISHED ON ALIEN ABDUCTION PULITZER PRIZE-WINNER John E. Mack, M.D. "Fascinating, suggestive, and even inspiring." --The New York Times Book Review "A TRANSCENDENT, LANDMARK WORK...An extraordinarily rich and strange mind-expanding book.--Boston Herald When respected Harvard psychiatrist John E. Mack, M.D., first published these astonishing results of four years of intensive research and investigation into alien abduction, he unleashed a firestorm of controversy. Now, in this paperback edition, Mack answers his critics, both believers and skeptics. Mack focuses on thirteen ordinary Americans (from nearly one hundred case studies) who tell dramatic, inspiring, and remarkably similar stories: repeated visits from large-eyed beings, mysterious machines, telepathy, invasive medical procedures, hours missing from their lives, and startling messages about the future.... "Provocative...This book is a challenge to any reader. It raises questions about how we live on this planet and with each other that the Western mind and culture will not be able to ignore for too much longer. It also raises questions about the nature of reality; of time, space, energy and the true nature of humanness. It opens the door to a very serious redefinition of life as we know it." --Los Angeles Times Book Review "Strange and disturbing...Something is powering this rash of abduction claims, making it worth the kind of serious investigation Mack presents here.--San Francisco Chronicle "A groundbreaking study...Credible and thought-provoking." --Publishers Weekly A FEATURED SELECTION OF THE LITERARY GUILD

"ABSORBING, POWERfUl AND TOUCHING...
In giving respect to people who have been misunderstood and mocked, and visibility to a phenomenon that is ordinarily derided, [Mack] has performed a valuable and brave service, enlarging the domain and generosity of the psychiatric enterprise. Whatever future research may reveal about the abduction experience, and however much it may be alloyed with individual psychodynamics and observer bias, it is also, as Dr. Mack understands, an aspect of something bigger-an emblem of our longing for connection to the greater universe in which we live and a sign of an urgently needed individual and collective transformation."
