$90.70
by Phillips Jr. Stevens (Author)
This book introduces readers to the anthropology of magic, witchcraft, and supernatural belief. It takes a new approach to this area, demonstrating that the bases for these beliefs and alleged practices are instinctual, inherent in human cognition and psychology, and are likely rooted in our evolutionary biology.
