In this thorough and balanced account researcher D. Scott Rogo offers a critical and scientific examination of reincarnation. He considers the various forms of past-life recall (dreams waking visions déjà vu) the most impressive case studies and the history of research into reincarnation. He then concludes the book with an examination of explanatory models that can account for the phenomenon. Rogo concludes that some people can indeed tap into the memories of other people cultures and places long removed in time but proposes that the evidence might be pointing to something more complex than our traditional views of reincarnation.
