III. YOUR CHOICE

Pick a third book of your choice, which you think relates to the general topic of consciousness studies and is of interest to you.  You may select the Selected Chapters packet from Projectiology: A Panorama of Experiences of the Consciousness Outside the Human Body by Waldo, MD. Vieira (contact patagao@ufl.edu if this is your choice).

 

This book could support your practice, your course requirement, or be unrelated to any other assignment.

 

This choice must be approved by Dr. Welsch, so do not purchase without her approval.  Submit (amazon.com copy & paste preferable) title, date of publication, author, number of pages, and review.  If it is not clear why this is about consciousness, but you believe it is what you need/want to read, write a paragraph defending your choice.
