Interesting Book

Professor Cesare Lombroso was a very celebrated scientist in Italy during his life in the late 19th century. During his life his works were devoted to a purely materialistic interpretation of the Universe, including his very contraversial theory of the Criminal mind published in his book "Criminal Man" (1876).As he wrote in his book "After Death - What":"If ever there was an individual in the world opposed to spiritism by virtue of scientific education, and, I may say, by instinct, I was that person."Despite his initial skepticism, and his history and success in the sciences, Lombroso became firmly convinced of the truth of paranormal activities. This book is the product of his interest and extensive research into the paranormal and was published posthumously.
