Mary Roach, known for her unflinching curiosity and signature blend of humor and rigorous investigation, turns her attention to one of humanity's most enduring mysteries: the afterlife. In "Spook," she embarks on a fascinating journey, exploring the historical figures and contemporary scientists who have dared to scientifically probe the veil between life and death. From spectral sightings to the mechanics of the soul, Roach examines a wide array of beliefs and experiments with her characteristic wit and intellectual honesty. This book offers a unique and often surprising look at what science can—and cannot—tell us about what happens when we die.
