Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife

Having mined the depths of the bizarre with great success in Stiff: The Curious Life of Human Cadavers, Mary Roach once again will be doing what she does best by concentrating on an offbeat mix of science, pop culture and travel. Spook is an irreverent, yet thorough, exploration of the science of the afterlife. It tackles psychics, mediums, ghost detectors, NASA, and a host of other characters in this life who are concerned only with the afterlife.
