Errata
If any errors are identified in Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences they will be posted here. 

One errata: If you have a book with the back jacket (the paper covering of the book) that begins with 'The First Near-Death Experience Research to be Based..." please be aware that the publisher made a mistake and published this jacket without giving me a chance to review it.  There are a number of factual errors in this jacket, and a corrected jacket will be on the books after the first printing.  The book jacket issue does not affect any of the content of the book.

Another errata: On page 39, in account of 'Experience #16', I state the young man "collided with a brick wall", but the account quoted says he "hit a tree".  Its a brick wall.  Here is the original account that was paraphrased in the book: https://www.nderf.org/paul_b_nde.htm.

That's all the errata we are aware of.

FAQ
If there are any Frequently Asked Questions that are, well, frequently asked, they will be posted here (no FAQ posted at this time).
