Mystical experiences of the natural world bring a sense of unity, knowledge, self-transcendence, eternity, light, and love. This is the first detailed study of these intriguing phenomena. Paul Marshall surveys and evaluates a wide range of explanations put forward by religious thinkers, philosophers, and scientists, and offers his own perspective on the nature of these experiences.

Jeffrey J. Kripal, Religion This is a terribly exciting book and, potentially, a very important one... [a] wonderful book

Peggy Morgan, Bulletin of the British Association for the Study of Religions a clear, up to date and excellently resourced investigation which is very ballanced... This book that I am sure that I shall return to again and again as both a stimulating read and as a research tool.

Matt Colborn, Journal of the Society for Psychical Research Marshall has produced an important, careful book that deserves to be widely read by students of psychology, philosophy, religion, and anomalous experience.
