Title: Alternative Realities
Subtitle: the Paranormal, the Mystic, and the Transcendent in Human Experience
Description: Dealing with virtually every reported type of "unusual" experience, including psychokinesis, mystical or hallucinatory visions, out-of-body experiences, UFO abductions, and many others, Alternative Realities explains the characteristics of each, as well as the methods of research used and the evidence provided by those who have experienced them. Clinical psychologist Dr. Leonard George keeps a sympathetic and open mind while also laying out possible scientific explanations, including psychological and neurological disorders, anomalistic and abnormal psychology, and self-induced hallucinations of these more than 450 entries.

Unlike most literature on the paranormal that highlights the sensational and the speculative, Alternative Realities approaches this subject in a thoughtful and unprejudiced way to reach an understanding of mysterious phenomena.
This objective volume carefully explains the characteristics of each type of experience and examines the scientific research conducted on the topic.

Amazon Reviewer: "This book is an excellent reference book that includes almost every variety of unusual and extraordinary human experience. Leonard George's writing is clear and down-to-Earth as he describes such esoteric topics as ESP, telekinesis, lucid dreaming, meditation, and mystical experiences. I love the way each entry contains both an explanation and at least one example, so it's easy to quickly comprehend what is being discussed. Some definitions go even farther, and cover the history and background of the phenomena around the world. This book is a delightful encyclopedia to either read sequentially or simply as the need arises to look something up."
