This review is from: Out of Time and Place (Paperback)
The back cover of this book asks the reader to "explore fascinating mysteries of history, archeology, and the paranormal with this collection of amazing reports published only in the pages of FATE magazine." Alas, the book can't deliver. The average article is about 7 pages long, and qualifies as no more than an introduction to the phenomenon in question. When it gets interesting, the article ends, leaving the reader no wiser than before. That a fair share of the articles were written in the 1950s did not exactly improve my overall impression of this book either. Historical sources, if they are to be useful, should be given with short biographies of the authors, but there is no such information. Discussions of whether the arguments of the historical article are still valid, or the questions raised still unanswered, are missing entirely. If there was a good bibliography, this book could at least serve as a starting point for further research, but there is none. This book has little educational value, and appears to be nothing but an attempt by the publisher to make a quick buck off popular interest in anomalous phenomena. I cannot recommend it.
