September Letters to Discover: Author Information

The notable letter writer for this month was Charles Tart who wrote in to defend himself after the article, "Extreme States" in the July 2005 issue. As a result of my research, I found that Tart is a well known, highly published individual in the field of consciousness research (that is not to say that I necessarily agree with what little I know of his work). The editors of Discover did issue an apology with the printing of the letter.
