Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

One side of the relationship between animals an humans throughout history has been spiritual. In Animal Spirits, the anthropologist Nicholas Saunders details the significant roles that animals have played in the human need to understand and relate to the natural world. The dolphin was a secret symbol of early Christianity, the raven was Creator for the Northwest Coast native Americans, and the Chinese dragon was the image of the divine power of transformation. The origins of mythology and religion lie in this visceral relationship, and in viewing the vivid photographs on every page of Animal Spirits, one can't help but feel a pang at our lost connectedness to the animal world.


Product Description

Providing fascinating perspectives on the complex relationships between animals and humankind, this book explores the ways in which animals in all cultures past and present have been seen as repositories of spiritual energy. A lucid, authoritative text explores animal myths and symbols, as well as vital philosophical issues. Includes a 100-page illustrated spiritual and symbolic bestiary.
