About This Item
Jefferson, NC: McFarland & Company Inc., 2001. 1st ed.. Hardback quarto, no jacket as issued, very good condition, pictorial cover, few black & white text-photos, figures, tables, light foxing edges.Heavy (1.0 Kg), and extra postage may be requested to destinations outside Australia. 330 pp. The essays in this book promote a better understanding of hauntings and poltergeists. The authors come from backgrounds in anthropology, history, philosophy, psychiatry, and sociology, and give sober and readable discussions of numerous ideas and rationalizations for hauntings and poltergeists. The book is divided into three major sections: sociocultural, physical and physiological perspectives. This work gives an excellent overview of each perspective, and also addresses the general psychology of belief in the paranormal, and how that belief relates to experiences of ghosts and poltergeists. Edited by James Houran and Rense Lange.
