Death and the afterlife have inspired artists for millennia. Books of the Dead presents Ancient Egyptian guides to the underworld, the Bardo Thoedol of Tibet on how to embrace enlightenment, the myths and ballgames of Mesoamerica, and the memento mori, hellish tumults and heavenly visions of Christian Europe.

Stanislav Grof explains how the art of 'dying before dying' has opened up these fantastic and compelling visions - and explains how modern consciousness research may bring us closer than ever to the realms beyond death.
