&#160;&ldquo;A cohesive reframing of the &lsquo;pantheon of the unknown&rsquo; &hellip; A thought-provoking, intelligent reconceptualization of supernatural events.&rdquo; &ndash;Kirkus Reviews &#160;&#160;"This book is a dream come true. It has taken thirty years for the most articulate of abductees to be taken seriously by a senior academic. This dialogue between the famous abductee and the historian of religions is the first major step in ufology since Jacques Vallee&rsquo;s writings of the 1990s. Whitley Strieber&rsquo;s intelligence and honesty compel one to take his experiences seriously, though they may sweep the philosophical ground from under our feet. In taking up the challenge, Jeffrey Kripal avoids the simplistic reactions of both skeptic and true believer. Instead of pretending to have the answers, he asks mind-bending questions, whose very asking is an act of self-transformation. Their conversation sets off sparks that should rekindle the search after &ldquo;rejected knowledge,&rdquo; and integrate it with the great paradigm change of our time: the end of materialism." --Joscelyn Godwin, Colgate University&ldquo;Requires the reader to avoid the first great pitfall of thinking that &lsquo;skepticism&rsquo; and belief are the only two options &hellip; very well written, surprisingly light, and fast-paced &hellip; They don&rsquo;t pretend to have answers, but we get the feeling the right questions lie in this direction. Every serious fortean needs to read it.&rdquo;&mdash;Bob Rickard, Fortean Times&#160; &ldquo;If reading The Super Natural doesn't make your hair stand straight up, you need to read it again. This book is at once disturbing and disorienting, fascinating and lucid. Its &lsquo;new vision of the unexplained&rsquo; dives headfirst into all sorts of strange but true encounters, from ravishing alien goddesses to loathsome blue gremlins. While this domain of human experience remains strictly taboo, it doesn&rsquo;t stop hundreds of thousands of ordinary people from continuing to report bizarre encounters with we know not what. This remarkable book does not attempt to explain what is going on. But it does crack open your head long enough to provide a new perspective.&rdquo; &ndash;Dean Radin, Chief Scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences and author of Supernormal; Entangled Minds; and The Conscious Universe"Something is happening here, and we're not sure what it is, but Kripal and Strieber have a clue: if there are aliens among us, they are ourselves, and we seem eager to make contact. This is a brilliant, provocative, and gripping new inquiry into the mysteries of time, space, and the human -- and not so human -- mind. Absolutely captivating; one could even say I was abducted..." &ndash;Gary Lachman, author of The Secret Teachers of the Western World &#160; &ldquo;A modern day descent into the rabbit hole, The Super Natural will blow your mind wide open, overturn beliefs about reality and the imagination, and challenge preconceived notions about life, death, and what falls in-between. Erudite, illuminating, and thoroughly exciting (not to mention quite funny at times), Strieber and Kripal&rsquo;s collaboration takes a serious look at what many would consider an unserious subject and have written the most thought-provoking and important book on the essence and nature of unexplained phenomena in more than forty years.&rdquo; &ndash;Gary Jansen, author of Holy Ghosts&ldquo;Fascination with the UFO phenomenon and with its extreme forms found in &lsquo;abduction&rsquo; reports has triggered passionate debates about the nature of the manifestations, the reliability of human testimony, and the unavoidable parallels with initiatory states and certain mystical visions. Yet the ambiguity of the relationship with the creatures involved has remained unresolved. The controversy has reactivated fundamental debates about the role of archetypes, the power of the unconscious, and the transcendental meaning of sex. A novel way to approach the problem emerges in this exceptional book -- the product of a dialogue between an articulate experiencer and an erudite historian of religions. In the process we discover that the experiencer is also something of a historian, and the historian confesses he has not been untouched by the experience...What is at stake is nothing less than the nature of our reality, and our ability as humans to grasp levels of perception that are at once so dangerous and so sublime.&rdquo; &ndash;Jacques Vallee, author of Passport to Magonia, Forbidden Science, and Wonders in the Sky "Practically anything goes at the American Academy of Religion's annual conference...What was almost impossible to find, at this orgy of intellectual curiosities, was discussion of the paranormal: ESP, premonitions, psychic powers, alien abduction and the like. This is a conference concerned with all sorts of supernatural and metaphysical claims....So why nothing about, say, mental telepathy? That is the question posed by Jeffrey J. Kripal, a professor of religion at Rice University in Houston and a renegade advocate for including the paranormal in religious studies." &ndash;The New York Times"No matter your beliefs, Strieber's writing has impact." &ndash;Library Journal

From the reviews:

"This excellent book should certainly find a good place in every library of research centres in astronomy and cosmology." (Physicalia, 25/3, 2003)
"There is plenty of interesting and useful information in the book. [...] I was always puzzled as to why Lyapunov exponents of chaotic orbits take so long to converge, and now I understand." (Prasenjit Saha, Physics Today, Nov. 2003)
"This book is the first to provide a general overview of order and chaos in this field of research.[…] This book, addressing especially astrophysicists, can also be used as a textbook on dynamical systems and astronomy for students in physics." (Zentralblatt MATH 2004, vol. 1041, page 69)
"This book represents a collection of the experience accumulated by Contopoulos in about 50 years of activity. … Researchers in dynamical systems and in astronomy and astrophysics will find in this book excellent source of information … . Advanced students working in dynamical systems may use it as a complete textbook … . Students in dynamical astronomy will appreciate in particular the two sections devoted to the dynamics of galaxies and to other astronomical applications." (A. Giorgilli, Mathematical Reviews, 2004 f)
"The study of orbits in nonlinear dynamical systems has progressed enormously over the last decades and thus became an important tool in dynamical astronomy. … This book is the first to provide a general overview of order and chaos in this field of research. … Quite useful and interesting is a list of more than seventy open problems … . This book, addressing especially astrophysicists, can also be used as a text book on dynamical systems and astronomy for students in physics." (Klaus Brod, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1041 (16), 2004)
"The author is a well-known scientist who has been involved in research in Dynamical Astronomy and Dynamics of galaxies for the last 50 years. … The amount of work done is impressive, and the present Volume can be considered as a summary of ideas and numerical results obtained by the authors and collaborators. … The book can be interesting as a source of information for the heuristic discussions following the presentation of several concrete problems in Astronomy." (Carles Simó, SIAM DS Web, January, 2004)
"If you are charmed by the order-chaos dichotomy, you will find much to enjoy in the book. … George Contopoulos has a half-century record of working on unusual but interesting problems. … It is interesting to have a pioneer’s view. … there is plenty of interesting and useful information in the book. … I was always puzzled as to why Lyapunov exponents of chaotic orbits take so long to converge, and now I understand." (Prasenjit Sinha, Physics Today, November, 2003)
"This large monograph, more than 600 pages, is devoted to the modern approach of dynamical astronomy. … The author, who has largely contributed to the dynamical astronomy, gives here a complete panorama of this domain in a clear and modern presentation. Mathematical concepts of the theory are nicely presented with more than 350 figures in view to make things understandable. … This excellent book should certainly find a good place in every library of research centre in astronomy and cosmology." (Stéphane Métens, Physicalia, Vol. 25 (3), 2003)
"This comprehensive book covers many important topics of dynamical systems with application to the contemporary understanding of stellar and galaxy structure and evolution. … It should be regarded as not only a good introduction to the complicated field of dynamical astronomy, but also as a handbook for many people working in different branches of contemporary physics and astrophysics. It, therefore, will be useful for many professionals and especially postgraduate university students … as well as for those specialized in mechanics and general dynamics." (A. M. Fridman and M. Ya. Marov, Solar System Research, Vol. 42 (3), 2008)

“Internationally recognized experts in their fields provide a succinct yet thorough review of basic and complex urodynamics in patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction. … This is an excellent reference for any clinician using urodynamics to diagnose and treat lower tract dysfunction. These include urologists, urogynecologists, urology residents, and fellows in neuro-urology or female urology. In addition, this book would prove valuable for personnel performing urodynamics such as nurses or nurse practitioners.” (Akhil K. Das, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2016)
