Commemorative Edition of Dr. John Mack's "Passport to the Cosmos" IN STORES NOW
A new "commemorative edition" of Dr. John Mack's final book, Passport to the Cosmos: Human
Transformation and Alien Encounters (1999), is in stores now.
In Passport to the Cosmos, Dr. Mack focuses on the human dimension of alien encounters -- how they affect people's lives, how they force a reexamination of our sense of reality, and how the aliens' presence may change our relationship to the world.
A magnificent new introduction by Michael Cohen is presented at the start, and we worked with one of the experiencers in the book to secure some of her
artwork, which has been lovingly set into the book by Kunati Press' art
department.
We are also grateful to Budd Hopkins for writing a lovely new blurb, which is reproduced in whole on the back cover.
Passport to the Cosmos: Commemorative Edition is a trade paperback edition. The cover art is a pastural scene of a boy standing on a hill with a retro-style flying saucer in the blue sky above him.*
The main text of the book is essentially the same as the original 1999
hardcover, newly typeset. Where some references had previously been from
people's unpublished essays and the like, the references have been
updated. There is a new quote by Credo Mutwah next to one illustration,
which was taken from the transcripts of John's intereviews with Credo.
Everyone at JEMI and in John's family who worked on this new edition with Kunati Press is hoping that this book will be discovered anew by people who
hadn't seen the original edition.
Passport to the Cosmos remains Dr. Mack's definitive
contribution to the subject of alien encounters, and is, in his own words
"a better book than Abduction".**

Thank you.
* Those familiar with ufo history may recognize that the saucer in the sky on the cover is an "Adamski" style saucer, but this is just artistic license -- it happens to be a nicely iconic type of saucer.
** "It is a better book, at least as a book, than 'Abduction', but aroused
less interest. After all, a Harvard professor can only make news making a
fool of himself once." (personal correspondence, John Mack to [redacted],
2004-01-26)
