Dr. Tucker, in a follow-up to his book Life Before Life, explores American cases of young children who report memories of previous lives in the New York Times bestseller, Return to Life. A first-person account of Jim Tucker's experiences with a number of extraordinary children with memories of past lives, Return to Life focuses mostly on American cases, presenting each family's story and describing his investigation. His goal is to determine what happened—what the child has said, how the parents have reacted, whether the child's statements match the life of a particular deceased person, and whether the child could have learned such information through normal means. Tucker has found cases that provide persuasive evidence that some children do, in fact, possess memories of previous lives. Among others, readers will meet a boy who describes a previous life on a small island. When Tucker takes him to that island, he finds that some details eerily match the boy's statements and some do not. Another boy points to a photograph from the 1930s and says he used to be one of the men in it. Once the laborious efforts to identify that man are successful, many of the child's numerous memories are found to match the details of his life. Soon after his second birthday, a third boy begins expressing memories of being a World War II pilot who is eventually identified. Thought-provoking and captivating, Return to Life urges its readers to think about life and death and reincarnation, and reflect about their own consciousness and spirituality.
Child psychiatrist Dr. Ian Stevenson describes what researchers at the University of Virginia Medical Center have learned by studying young children's reports of past-life memories.
A fully updated 2-in-1 edition, with a new introduction by the author, combining Dr. Jim B. Tucker's bestselling books about children who remember past lives—Return to Life and Life Before Life. These two books contain first-person accounts of Jim B. Tucker's experiences with a number of extraordinary children with memories of past lives, and expands on the international work started by Tucker's University of Virginia colleague Ian Stevenson. Tucker's work has been lauded by the likes of parapsychologist Carol Bowman and Deepak Chopra, and has been described by some as quantum physics. His goal in each case of a child reporting memories of previous lives is to determine what happened—what the child has said, how the parents have reacted, whether the child's statements match the life of a particular deceased person, and whether the child could have learned such information through normal means. Tucker has found case studies that provide persuasive evidence that some children do, in fact, possess memories of previous lives. Thought-provoking and captivating, the stories in Before urge readers, skeptics and supporters alike to think about life, death, and reincarnation and to reflect about their own consciousness and spirituality.
In these tales of renewal, a leading US medical scientist investigates children's experiences of past lives. The belief that we 'survive' death in some form is central to most religions, but barely is it a topic broached by science. However, in this fascinating collection of stories, eminent scientist Jim B. Tucker M.D. reveals evidence of past life phenomena based on years of interviewing children and their families and independently verifying their statements. There is the story of Patrick, born twelve years after his brother Kevin tragically died of cancer. Throughout his childhood, Patrick bears the physical marks of his brother's illness, but none of the actual symptoms, and has remarkable recall of his brother's short life. And the story of James from Louisiana, who, from the age of two, is convinced he was once a World War II pilot and is able to accurately relate the details of the crash that killed him. Challenging, intriguing and ultimately life-affirming, this book provides a compelling argument for the continuation of the spirit or mind after the demise of the body.
The college experience can challenge the mind, prepare one for a career and/or, since away from parental supervision, provide an open invitation to frivolity, partying and ribald behavior. That may include the dream or, in most cases, the delusion of finding the love of one's life. Tucker's Angels provides an intimate look into the mindset of one such student, who is quickly seduced by the campus lifestyle. He soon believes he has landed in heaven on Earth: dorm mates with whom to fraternize, coeds just across the quad, three squares a day in the dining hall and a new gymnasium open into the night. Yet Tucker McKay's story is also one of discovery and transformation, until playing basketball may not be the most important thing to be experienced in the Halls of Ivy. His journey is also about the many (earthly) angels in disguise who help lead him toward enlightenment, including an equally competitive coed who ties him in such emotional knots that he once again must rethink his priorities. She turns Tuck's academic awakening into an adventure, flavored with the mysteries of romance, the excitement of first love and the thrill of passion. Whether you wish to learn more about campus life or just to relive the college experience, Tucker's Angels welcomes you along for the ride, through the fun, the challenges, the lessons learned and the formation of lifelong friendships in this rite of passage from naivete into adulthood.

Until his recent death in federal prison, Jim McDougal was the irrepressible ghost of the Clintons' Arkansas past. As Bill Clinton's political and business mentor, McDougal - with his knowledge of embarrassing real estate and banking deals, bribes, and obstructions of justice - has long haunted the White House. Jim McDougal's vivid self-portrait, completed only days before his death and coauthored by veteran journalist Curtis Wilkie, takes on the rich particularity of character and plot to reveal the hidden intersections of politics and special interests in Arkansas and the betrayals that followed. It is the story of how ambitious men and women climbed out of rural obscurity and "how friendships break down and lives are ruined.
