Jess Stearn (1914-2002) was a pioneer in the nonfiction field, treating with frankness the once-taboo subjects of homosexuality (The Sixth Man) and drugs (The Seekers). His book on yoga (Yoga, Youth and Reincarnation) helped to start a vogue in the United States, and his Door to the Future opened the possibility of psychic phenomena to a previously unconvinced public.
