Reviews
On Aug 26 2014, a reader said:
One of those books you can't help but call "priceless." For anyone with even a mild interest in the source of religious or spiritual feeling and the common grounds of belief around the world, this is an indispensable survey of a human urge that springs from an early kind of consciousness that made no distinction between art, science, and religion.
