I Vålnadernas historia tar Augustprisbelönade Magnus Västerbro sig an den västerländska spöktron och en av de största frågorna genom tiderna: har människan en odödlig själ? Resultatet är en bred historisk berättelse om tro och tvivel, över flera årtusenden. Vi möter de stora tänkarna och de ännu större personligheterna. Vi möter de sörjande, de skräckslagna, de skeptiska och de rena skojarna. Med värme och humor utmanar Västerbro våra föreställningar om hur människorna tänkte förr. De länge sedan döda har sällan framstått som mer levande. För den här boken handlar också om kärlek och den ofattbaraste av tankar, att våra nära och kära en dag ska vara borta för alltid. Det här är en bok för både dem som älskar spökhistorier och för dem som på ett underhållande sätt vill få nya synvinklar och ompröva sin syn på historien och den västerländska kulturens framväxt.
"Denna alternativa bibel eller historiebok borde påtvingas alla Sveriges gymnasieelever [ ] Magnus Västerbro har uppenbarligen en enastående kapacitet Inget mänskligt eller omänskligt tycks ju vara Västerbro främmande" Nina Lekander i Expressen.
"Magnus Västerbro är en idealisk vägvisare i underjorden" Fredrik Sjöberg i Svenska Dagbladet.
"Innan jag läste den här originella boken hade jag ingen tanke på att vidskeplighet har en existentiell dimension" Ulrika Kärnborg i Expressen.
"I sin odyssé genom historiens andevärld och den ackompanjerande skepticismen skalar sig Västerbro fram till den bultande värkande kärnan i spöktron : Den förtvivlade människans svårighet att acceptera förlusten av sina älskade. Så blir boken en viktig påminnelse om att kärlek, sorg, smärta och rädsla är starka krafter som lätt kan sätta det rationella tänkandet ur spel och lätt kan utnyttjas" Cecilia Djurberg i Aftonbladet.
"En fantastisk vandring genom historien Joel Halldorf i Läsarpodden. Imponerande diger" Gabriella Håkansson, Sydsvenskan.
"En intellektuell odyssé välskriven, lärd och underhållande" Dagens Nyheter om Vålnadernas historia.
"En innehållsrik och gedigen berättelse inte en skeptikers överlägsna avfärdande" Lena Eskilsson, Västerbottens-kuriren
"Lysande berättelse om vålnadernas färgstarka historia, utan att någonsin förirra sig in i pseudovetenskapligt önsketänkande om deras faktiska existens. Historien är nog så spännande, dramatisk och fascinerande ändå. Otroligt läsvärd!" Christer Sturmark
"Det här är ett underhållande och spännande populärvetenskapligt verk av högsta klass om ett ämne som intresserat, fascinerat och skrämt människor i alla tider" Bibliotekstjänst

New Science of Heaven
How the new science of plasma physics is shedding light on spiritual experience
Häftad, Engelska, 2023
165 kr
'This book is an important contribution, and I hope it will open many minds. What is particularly important in it are the discussions of David Bohm, of bioplasma, biophotons, and bioelectronics.' - PROFESSOR ZBIGNIEW WOLKOWSKI, Sorbonne University, Paris"Answers so many questions, scientific and esoteric, about the true nature of our reality... A seminal work... Will revolutionise how we frame reality and the thinking of everyone on this planet. Kudos to Professor Temple for striking the first match to light the fire." - NEW DAWNThe story of the science of plasma and its revolutionary implications for the way we understand the universe and our place in it.Histories of science in the 20th century have focused on relativity and quantum mechanics. But, quietly in the background, there has been a third area of exploration which has equally important implications for our understanding of the universe. It is unknown to the general public despite the fact that many Nobel prize winners, senior academics and major research centres around the world have been devoted to it - it is the study of plasmaPlasma is the fourth state of matter and the other three - gas, liquid and solids - emerge out of plasma. This book will reveal how over 99% of the universe is made of plasma and how there are two gigantic clouds of plasma, called the Kordylewski Clouds, hovering between the Earth and the Moon, only recently discovered by astronomers in Hungary. Other revelations not previously known outside narrow academic disciplines include the evidence that in certain circumstances plasma exhibits features that suggest they may be in some sense alive: clouds of plasma have evolved double helixes, banks of cells and crystals, filaments and junctions which could control the flow of electric currents, thus generating an intelligence similar to machine intelligence. We may, in fact, have been looking for signs of extra-terrestrial life in the wrong place.Bestselling author Robert Temple has been following the study of plasma for decades and was personally acquainted with several of the senior scientists - including Nobel laureates - at its forefront, including Paul Dirac, David Bohm, Peter Mitchell and Chandra Wickramasinghe (who has co-written an academic paper with Temple).

SHORTLISTED FOR THE PEN ACKERLEY PRIZE 2020 ‘A uniquely strange and wonderful work of literature’ Philip Hoare ‘An exciting new voice’ Mark Cocker, author of Crow Country In his late thirties, Edward Parnell found himself trapped in the recurring nightmare of a family tragedy. For comfort, he turned to his bookshelves, back to the ghost stories that obsessed him as a boy, and to the writers through the ages who have attempted to confront what comes after death.In Ghostland, Parnell goes in search of the ‘sequestered places’ of the British Isles, our lonely moors, our moss-covered cemeteries, our stark shores and our folkloric woodlands. He explores how these landscapes conjured and shaped a kaleidoscopic spectrum of literature and cinema, from the ghost stories and weird fiction of M. R. James, Arthur Machen and Algernon Blackwood to the children’s fantasy novels of Alan Garner and Susan Cooper; from W. G. Sebald’s The Rings of Saturn and Graham Swift’s Waterland to the archetypal ‘folk horror’ film The Wicker Man…Ghostland is Parnell’s moving exploration of what has haunted our writers and artists – and what is haunting him. It is a unique and elegiac meditation on grief, memory and longing, and of the redemptive power of stories and nature.

Since ancient times, accounts of supernatural activity have mystified us. Ghost stories as we know them did not develop until the late nineteenth century, but the restless dead haunted the premodern imagination in many forms, as recorded in historical narratives, theological texts, and personal letters. The Penguin Book of the Undead teems with roving hordes of dead warriors, corpses trailed by packs of barking dogs, moaning phantoms haunting deserted ruins, evil spirits emerging from burning carcasses in the form of crows, and zombies with pestilential breath. Spanning from the Hebrew scriptures to the Roman Empire, the Scandinavian sagas to medieval Europe, the Protestant Reformation to the Renaissance, this beguiling array of accounts charts our relationship with spirits and apparitions, wraiths and demons over fifteen hundred years, showing the evolution in our thinking about theability of dead souls to return to the realm of the living--and to warn us about what awaits us in the afterlife.
