Recent years have brought rich additions to the materials for the study of early religion, ritual, magic, and myth.

The first essay in this collection, 'Science and Superstition,' points out the danger of allowing too ingenious and imaginative hypotheses to lead captive our science.

Will I outlive my money? Will my spouse be secure if I die? Will I be able to leave a legacy to my children? If you’re in the Red Zone—those years between age 50 and retirement—these questions are almost certainly on your mind. But getting a straight answer to them is harder than it should be because the financial services industry is failing the people it’s intended to serve: People like you! You’ve worked hard and taken risks to create the nest egg you’re counting on to support you in retirement. But how you manage that money going forward is even more important than it was before, because once you’re in the Red Zone you don’t have the same amount of time to make up those losses. How can you better avoid the pitfalls that can derail your retirement security? How can you try to lower your investment risk without sacrificing income and growth? How can you choose the best financial advisor for where you are in your financial life today? Victory Lap pulls back the curtain on how the industry is run, to help you understand what’s available to you, and to educate you so that, no matter who your advisor is, you know what questions to ask them to be sure they are serving your best interests—and not the other way around.Show book
"Cerebral, passionate, and beautifully drawn. A highly distinctive and engaging book." —Joe Sacco, author of Palestine “Magic is everywhere—in the ordinary, the mundane, and even in garbage. It takes time to slow down and find traces of such wonder in the world, but it is rewarding once discovered. Written, illustrated, and lettered by [the author], this first work is dense in both content and artistic style. Carefully reviewed, researched, and cited, it combines the author’s knowledge of magic and witchcraft with her academic studies in the environmental sciences to create an atmosphere in which the supernatural is dynamic and ever present.” —Library JournalWitchbody is an invitation to experience what lies hidden beneath the surface of our everyday lives—to see the magic in all things. A plant, a tree, a coffee cup, garbage bins, you, me—they're all magic. Witchcraft is simply the power we’re all born with to awaken our senses to this magic, to awaken our “witchbody.” And that awakening is essential if we are to reframe our experience with Nature and with our precious planet.Show book
