About this edition: A collection of essays by priests, explorers, adventurers, natural historians and anthropologists--including Carlos Castaneda, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Black Elk, and Frank Boas--traces Western civilization's struggle to interpret and understand the ancient knowledge of cultures that revere magic men and women, shamans capable of summoning spirits.
