Sommario/riassunto |
|
With their ability to enter trances, to change into the bodies of other creatures, and to fly through the northern skies, shamans are the subject of both popular and scholarly fascination. In Shamans: Siberian Spirituality and the Western Imagination Ronald Hutton looks at what is really known about both the shamans of Siberia and about others spread throughout the world. He traces the growth of knowledge of shamans in Imperial and Stalinist Russia, descibes local variations and different types of shamanism, and explores more recent western influences on its history and modern practice. This is a challenging book by one of the world's leading authorities on Paganism. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Are today's environmental crises linked to the plans for World War 3? The United States and its allies prepared for a global struggle against the Soviet Union by using science to extend 'total war' ideas to the natural environment. This book links environmental warfare to the environmental crises of the 1970s and beyond. |
