Reviews

To make a book either about altered states of consciousness or about time accessible to nonexperts is, by itself, a great challenge. In Altered States of Consciousness: Experiences Out of Time and Self, author Marc Wittmann takes one step further and combines these two topics to discuss how they are related . . . his book is likely to be enjoyed both by readers who are novices in these areas and by readers who are already familiar with one of these topics. -Wired
