JOHN J. MILETICH is a Reference Librarian at the University of Alberta. He is the author of Retirement: An Annotated Bibliography (Greenwood Press, 1986), and Work and Alcohol Abuse: An Annotated Bibliography (Greenwood Press, 1987).
"This ambitious project attempts to pull together citations to
books, journals, conference proceedings, and dissertations on
altered states of awareness, ' defined as deviations from normal'
perception.' Grouped within the nine chapters are more than 1,000
annotated references to material published between 1894 and 1988 on
a variety of topics such as drugs, brain tumors, thyroid disorders,
meditation, and combat. Each chapter focuses on an altered state of
awareness, and it is the grouping of all these references on
seemingly diverse topics into one volume that makes the
bibliography useful, especially in an undergraduate setting. The
compiler, a librarian at the University of Alberta, has prepared
two other annotated bibliographies for the same publisher:
Retirement and Work and Alcohol Abuse. . . . [The] work is
interesting and well annotated."-Choice
?Because of its retrospective and comprehensive English-language
coverage, this bibliography will be especially useful for
researchers and upper-level students in psychical research,
clinical psychology, and psychiatry, and for others needing access
to the literature on consciousness and altered states.?-ARBA
