Review
Pollingtons book covers everything from healing through prayer and witchcraft to the use of plants as medicine--an interesting and absolutely thorough exploration of the way cultures have evolved, using a classic reportage style to show how communities once dealt with the suffering of the sick. Pollington is a master lecturer who knows how to present complex and layered material in a concise and thorough manner, always careful to place data in its proper historical context.--Electric Review
