«La source noire: révélations aux portes de la mort» is an essay on philosophy and psychology by Patrice van Eersel, published by B. Grasset in paperback (320 pages, in French).
The book documents the revelations of people who have been on the brink of death and the research of psychiatrists, cardiologists and physicists who study these experiences. Drawing on cases collected in several countries, Van Eersel reflects on death as a transition, on the loss of traditional wisdom in the face of it, and on its psychological dimension.
The original edition dates from 1986. The volume includes a bibliography on pages 315-317.
A work of interest to readers who wish to delve into philosophy, psychology and the study of near-death experiences.
Edward Payson Van Duzee was an American entomologist noted for his work on Hemiptera. As of 1885, he was a librarian at Grosvenor Library of Buffalo New York for 28 years, and then relocated to California in 1912 where he took a position at Scripps Institute in La Jolla. The same year, Van Duzee became a fellow at the Entomological Society of America. Due to his fellowship, Van Duzee was appointed as an instructor of entomology at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1914 to 1916, after which he was served as curator of the entomology collection at the California Academy of Sciences from 1916 to 1940. At the time of his death, he had approximately 165 publications in addition to his noted Catalogue of the Hemiptera where he established 46 new genera and 906 species or subspecies.
