Product Description
Synopsis
Every Monday night millions of Americans tune into "Medium", NBC's new hit drama featuring Allison DuBois, an ordinary woman who helps police solve baffling crimes through her ability to communicate with the dead. What most don't know is that this fictional character is based on a true-life medium named Allison DuBois, who is a consultant to the show. For the past four years, DuBois, has been the subject of rigorous scientific experiments conducted at the University of Arizona by Harvard-trained psychologist Gary Schwartz. "The Truth About Medium" chronicles many of those experiments as well as the real-life cases Allison has worked on and reveals hard laboratory evidence that psychic ability and mediumship are real.

Format:Hardcover
This book is very easy to read, but that should not be held against it. The author is a scientist who has carried out as scientific as possible a tests on a number of mediums, including Alison Dubois (who inspired the show, Medium). He sets out the experiments and how he recorded them and prevented "cheating" by the medium. His findings are quite astonishing and show that there is a lot more to know than we currently accept in mainstream science.
He has not tried to be sensational in his account and it is certainly a book any sceptic should read.

If you are interested in the work of mediums and Allison Dubois in particular then this is a must read. It is largely by Prof Gary Schwartz who is a trull amazing academic. I first read his After life experiments and was greatly surprised to find there are double blind scientific experiments done in lab conditions in a respected University, by highly respected academics that demonstrate mediums gathering information from people who are dead.
The Truth about Medium uses the same rigourous to test Allisons ability. it is dead easy to be a sceptics.just say " mediums are just fakes and cold reading" and close your mind to further facts. But the project research run at Arizona University and published (copies in each book) as correct scientific Journal articles prove beyond doubt that mediums and Allison in particular have a truly remarkable gift of being able to meet with the continuing consciousness of people whose physical life has ended and passing very specific, confidential in some cases information back to e family.
Forget any idea tha mediums can Google the people they are goring to meet to get personal info. The Truth about Medim boles that out if thte water. Forget the idea that this is manioulation and cold reading and just let yourself be open enough to consider the evidence.
This book is not a light read it is full if scientific info, experiments and scientific theory, but it is written for the layman: just read it if you want your beliefs to be challenged!! To me, and after reading Scwartzes other work...it has brought about a profound life change. Now to get Richard Dawkins to read it........

Some interesting details of Schwarz's experiments with a number of mediums, notably Alison Dubois, the inspiration for the TV series, Medium.
As with many books originating in the US, the style is a little too simplistic, with rather too much generalisation and not much meat.
Pretty forgettable.
