Born in France during the Hundred Year War, Joan of Arc began to hear 'voices' from God at an early age. In this book Preston Russell examines the three trials of Joan; Joan's transformation in history and literature; and as a physician, the evolution of insanity from antiquity to current brain research, presently probing the origins of consciousness to higher sources -- opening up avenues that a few decades ago would have been dismissed as scientific madness. Does God speak to certain individuals in direct and very real ways? Are some human beings born with such a keen intuitive power that they can communicate with supernatural beings? And, does God use otherwise ordinary people as the conduits for his miracles? Preston Russell provides a startling conclusion that reconciles science and religion, the physical and the metaphysical.

The series invites the attention of linguists, language teachers of all interests, sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists, historians etc. to the development of the sociology of language.
