- Accidental brothers : the story of twins exchanged at birth and the power of nature and nurture / by Segal, Nancy L.,1951-author.; Montoya, Yesika S.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Accidental Brothers tells the unique story of two sets of identical Colombian twin brothers who discovered at age 25 that they were mistakenly raised as fraternal twins--when they were not even biological brothers. Due to an oversight that presumably occurred in the hospital nursery, one twin in each pair was switched with a twin in the other pair. The result was two sets of unrelated "fraternal" twins--Jorge and Carlos, who were raised in the lively city of Bogota; and William and Wilber, who were raised in the remote rural village of La Paz, 150 miles away. Their parents and siblings were aware of the enormous physical and behavioral differences between the members of each set, but never doubted that the two belonged in their biological families. Everyone's life unraveled when one of the twins--William--was mistaken by a young woman for his real identical twin, Jorge. Her "discovery" led to the truth--that the alleged twins were not twins at all, but rather unrelated individuals who ended up with the wrong families. Blending great science and human interest, Accidental Brothers by Nancy L. Segal and Yesika S. Montoya will inform and entertain anyone interested in how twin studies illuminate the origins of human behavior, as well as mother-infant identification and the chance events that can have profound consequences on our lives.- Subjects: Twins; Nature and nurture;

- Paranormal : my life in pursuit of the afterlife / by Moody, Raymond A.; Perry, Paul,1950-;
"Raymond Moody is the "grandfather" of the modern NDE (Near Death Experience) movement. As a researcher and medical doctor, Moody's pioneering work Life After Life sold over ten million copies and introduced the world to the phenomenon of NDEs. In this account of his lifetime of research into the after life, Moody explains how he stumbled onto these amazingly consistent stories by people who had died and come back to life. Moody was the first scholar and doctor to describe the accounts of the bright light, the tunnel, the presence of loved ones waiting on the other side, past life review, and meeting heavenly beings--all of which have become part of our modern cultural knowledge. But Dr. Moody did not quit his research after publishing his first ground-breaking book. Here we learn how he pioneered and researched new ways for the living to encounter the dead and even our past lives. In this fascinating account by a reserved and disciplined researcher, readers will discover the surprisingly thin line between the living and the passed on and why we have so much evidence for our deepest hopes"--- Subjects: Moody, Raymond A.; Future life; Near-death experiences; Parapsychology;
