brossura La coscienza sopravvive o no alla morte? Un cardiologo di fama internazionale ci illustra le sue strabilianti ricerche. Proseguendo l'eccezionale percorso intrapreso da Raymond Moody, Jeffrey Long e altri, eccoci di fronte al mistero della vita dopo la vita indagato da una mente scientifica, dalla formazione solidissima e dal metodo inattaccabile, ma aperta ai risultati più sconvolgenti. Una lettura che fa pensare, documentatissima e ricca di casistica. Pini van Lommel, cardiologo olandese, ha iniziato il proprio percorso di ricerca sulle NDE (Near-Death Experiences, o esperienze di premorte) dopo avere notato la quantità di pazienti che, dopo un infarto, dichiaravano di avere avuto visioni dell'aldilà. Nel 2001 ha pubblicato il primo e celeberrimo studio sulle NDE su The Lancet (una delle più prestigiose riviste mediche internazionali), grazie al quale è diventato il faro per chiunque sia interessato a indagare questo tema da una prospettiva scientifica.
