"Life Before Life" is a book written by psychiatrist Dr. Jim Tucker, which is a very readable overview of more than 40 years of research at the University of Virginia Division of Personality Studies into past life recall by children. [ [http://www.scientificexploration.org/jse/v19/n4/bookReview-Life-Before-Life.html Book Review -- Life before Life] ] The foreword to the book is written by Professor Ian Stevenson.

The book discusses:

* British twins whose birthmarks and behavior closely resembled that of their deceased older sisters.
* A boy from Africa who knows the names and personal details of people from another village, without having ever been there.
* An American boy who believes he is the reincarnation of his own grandfather.
* A child who dies of a gunshot in a previous life and carries a birthmark of the same size, shape and placement in this life.

The book also discusses objections to reincarnation: the paucity of persons who actually claim to remember a past life, the fragility of memories, the population explosion, the mind-body problem, fraud, and others.
