Zusatztext

"It provides interesting statistical input focused on England "
Alexander Faludy, Church Times
'...regarded as an open-ended introduction to the highly diverse field of contemporary occulture the volume offers inspirational reading. Besides the Introduction and Conclusion chapters, written by the editors, the volume contains no less than 20 pieces, covering a wide range of subjects related to the paranormal and/or to (Western) occulture, by more than 20 different authors.

...The Paranormal and Popular Culture can be valuable to any scholar interested in contemporary occulture. Several of the chapters are what a non-academic would probably call nerdy, showing deep knowledge about their often very narrow topics, resulting in texts that are highly interesting and fascinating.'
Eva Kingsepp, Society For Psychical Research
