Ten years on, psychologist Susan Blackmore鈥檚 devastatingly honest account of
her struggle to make sense of the paranormal, In Search of the Light
(Prometheus, $16.95, ISBN 1 57392 061 4), is as gripping as ever. Three
new chapters bring the story up to date. The tension between the vivid reality
of an early out-of-body experience and the negative results of her subsequent
telepathic experiments is at last resolved: mechanisms don鈥檛 have to be
paranormal for life-changing visions to be real.
