{"product_id":"alien-worlds-diana-tumminia-9780815608585","title":"Alien Worlds: Social and Religious Dimensions of Extraterrestrial Contact","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis intriguing collection of essays presents reflections upon the birth, proliferation, enduring appeal, and future of UFO mythology. Highly respected authors and researchers, representing the varied and sometimes competing perspectives of ufology and the sociology of religion, provide a fascinating and instructive voyage into the exotic social worlds of UFOs, abductees, and contactees. Reports of aliens and the changing nature of abduction experience, especially in the sexual dimension are explored in relation to literature, culture, and ideology. The influence of abduction therapy and support groups is considered, as are new religious movements (NRMs) within the UFO community. The book offers rich insights into psychology, human behavior, and religion, melding issues of race, politics, and gender. Finally, it evaluates the existing dynamic of UFOS in the age of the Information Super Highway and ever-increasing globalization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e Alien Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e will enlighten anyone wanting to understand what and how the academic world thinks about UFOs, UFO groups, and UFO phenomena.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diana Tumminia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815608586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815608585\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.04h x 7.02w x 1.07d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2008 pg. 1174","brand":"Diana Tumminia","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947324375295,"sku":"9780815608585","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_aa723edd-d46b-421a-9ba6-693b0bf6a3c3.jpg?v=1681518046","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/alien-worlds-diana-tumminia-9780815608585","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
