title: On The Other Side Of Life: Exploring the Phenomenon of the Near-Death Experience
author:  Evelyn Elsaesser Valarino 
description: Approaching the near-death experience from the standpoint of an objective observer reporting quantifiable experiences, Evelyn Elsaesser Valarino endows <i>On the Other Side of Life</i> with credibility that is missing from many books on this subject. Valarino's interviews provide access to the insights of scientists, doctors, and everyday people that both researchers and general readers will find valuable. At the same time, these dialogues with such a diverse group of reputable scholars serve as a foundation for bridging the gap between science and spirituality.
