Signs of Reincarnation

Signs of Reincarnation provides a systematic, inter-disciplinary examination of beliefs in as well as evidence for reincarnation that will appeal to students of anthropology, religious studies, philosophy, and the psychology of consciousness and memory, as well as parapsychology. Matlock discusses various ways the reincarnation evidence may be interpreted and shows that although the postmortem survival and reincarnation of consciousness entails a rejection of the materialist notion that consciousness is generated by the brain, it does not require the acceptance of any radically new concepts or the abandonment of well-established findings in mainstream psychology or biology. The book includes an extensive bibliography and a glossary of specialized and technical terms.
