Paranormal America
Bigfoot hunters, haunted houses, psychic readings, and unidentified flying object abductees are common in “paranormal America,” a world that includes a diverse spectrum of ordinary people. Christopher D. Bader, F. Carson Mencken, and Joseph O. Baker take their readers on a fascinating journey into “the world of people who devote themselves to the ‘quest’” for contact with angels, aliens, and other unusual beings (p. 16). To flesh out the findings…

The convergence in the 1990s o…
On the Edge of the Future
Considering its formative role in promoting alternative spiritual and holistic healing trends since the 1960s, Esalen has garnered little scholarly attention. The essays in this book go a long way toward giving Esalen its due as an important site of religious and therapeutical experimentation and coalescence in twentieth-century America.
