Responding to the surging interest among students for information on topics relating to magic, witchcraft, the supernatural and other mysterious phenomena, Gale presents this in-depth, comprehensive three-volume set. Information is arranged in an objective manner, presenting varying viewpoints when appropriate, and is written at a level that younger students and researchers can understand. Chapters offer a thorough look at the history of each topic and cover the people and practices, as well as popular literature, television programs and movies, related to the subject. Other features include approximately 300 photos and illustrations; a detailed glossary; a helpful further readings section; and a cumulative index.
I was disappointed with the astrology section of this book. There was no mention of Indian astrology which is actually very accurate in its prediction.
