But how should such experiences be interpreted? Are they verifiable with scientific methods? If so, how can they be explained? Attempting to relate matters of scientific knowledge to subjective experience and the realm of belief is a difficult balancing act, and has led to a variety of approaches to the topic. This work scrutinizes the diverse views, and also myths, about near-death experiences and describes them from a scientific standpoint. Situated at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology,  philosophy, and religious studies, this book will appeal to a broad audience of both scientists and general readers.NeuropsychologyPsychologyNeurosciencesReligionNeurobiologyNeuropsychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12030Popular Science in Psychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q18003Neuroscienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B18006Religious Studies, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A0000Neurobiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25066Neuropsychology.Psychology.Neurosciences.Religion.Neurobiology.Neuropsychology.Popular Science in Psychology.Neurosciences.Religious Studies, general.Neurobiology.133.9013150200573.8Engmann Birkauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut861715BOOK9910298084003321Near-Death Experiences1922929UNINA04655nam 2200709Ia 450 991095822080332120200520144314.097866131356059781283135603128313560497802520906840252090683(CKB)2550000000088861(OCoLC)785781192(CaPaEBR)ebrary10532346(SSID)ssj0000544971(PQKBManifestationID)11314850(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000544971(PQKBWorkID)10553723(PQKB)10968557(MdBmJHUP)muse23781(Au-PeEL)EBL3413874(CaPaEBR)ebr10532346(CaONFJC)MIL313560(OCoLC)923493139(MiAaPQ)EBC3413874(Perlego)2382830(EXLCZ)99255000000008886120080226d2008 ub 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrSpring poems /by Oni Buchanan1st ed.Urbana University of Illinois Pressc20081 online resource (129 p.)

Ecstatic, visually intricate rhapsodies are juxtaposed with tight, sonnet-like poems, and wispy columns of verse brush up against large-scale epics and kinetic text. This collection's point of departure is the paradox of existence as an individual in a political and violent world. All of the formal innovations in this book have in common an urgent need for texture and polyphony, and the poems attempt to discover how to fulfill the individual human responsibility of surviving as a resiliently loving and hopeful living creature. An accompanying multimedia compact disc offers a full Flash-animated version of the printed kinetic work, "The Mandrake Vehicles."
