5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting & Informative, July 5, 2005
This review is from: Shamans Through Time (Paperback)
I have been studying shamaic cultures for decades, and this was an unusual collection seeing through the eyes of Westerners over half a milenium. It gives me hope that we can rise above ethnocentricity to see that reality is mutable although by way of this book it took over 400 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shamans Through Time by Narby/Huxley, September 16, 2007

This review is from: Shamans Through Time (Paperback)
I borrowed this book from the library and ended up buying my own copy. Gives great info on the topic of shamans. You could buy several of the books that are listed but there are parts from articles and journals that are not available. I am enjoying this book very much and plan to use it when I write my Ph.d on shamanism.
You will enjoy every article.

This review is from: Shamans Through Time (Paperback)
This book is a compilation of articles relating to shamans or its synonyms throughout the world. The arrangement of the articles outlines a change in perception towards this groups of people. As such, it can become a rich source of information for those doing cultural studies.
