Evelyn Elsaesser Valarino

Evelyn Elsaesser Valarino, born in Bern, Switzerland, is head of the law library at the University of Geneva. In search for existentialist answers, she has spent many years studying scientific as well as philosophical works. The author’s discovery of near-death-experience testimonies prompted her to undertake a rigorous five-year program of research to explore and understand these accounts within the contexts of different disciplines, culminating in this fascinating book.
