In Life After Death: The Evidence, Ian Wilson says it is impossible to sit on the fence about this subject – but don’t most people do exactly that? The book ranges widely, taking on near-death experiences, premonitions, apparitions and the like while attacking such tentative scientific explanations as hallucinations. The interesting evidence is necessarily anecdotal; the fence posture seems rational. Published by Sidgwick & Jackson, £16.99, ISBN 0283063009.
