Description
The suggestion that the earth is not the only planet in the universe to be inhabited by life is by no means new. In this book Swedenborg describes this and outlines a universe more diverse and richly integrated than has previously been thought. This work has previously known by the titles The Worlds in Space and Earths in the Universe.
An edition of The Worlds in Space under a different title coupled with an additonal foreword by Dr Raymond Moody, who is well known for initiating the study of near-death experiences.
