Life Energy Encyclopedia: Qi, Prana, Spirit, and Other Life Forces around the World

by Stefan Stenudd

In every part of the world, already thousands of years ago, humans have speculated about some kind of life force. In China it is called qi (also spelled chi), in India prana, in ancient Greece pneuma, in Latin Spiritus, and in Hebrew ruach. There are hundreds of life energy beliefs, which have many similarities. This encyclopedia presents and explains them all. In the introduction, distant origins of human thought are traced, examining how spiritual beliefs and life force ideas emerged, and how they were developed through time.

Wonder if this might be good for the shop?
Anyone see it? Read it yet?
The cover (yes, folks other than me judge books by the cover)
would be limiting in it's appeal, wonder about it's content?
Just basic overview or does it go into some depth?

Thanks!
