Crisp and unmarked. 312pp. Very nice unclipped dust jacket is very slightly rubbed and has one tiny scuff on front panel. -- Ritual is one of the oldest, and certainly most enigmatic, threads in the history of human culture. It presents a profound paradox: people ascribe the utmost importance to their rituals, but few can explain why they are so important. Apparently pointless ceremonies pervade every documented society, from handshakes to hexes, hazings to parades. Before we ever learned to farm, we were gathering in giant stone temples to perform elaborate rites and ceremonies. And yet, though rituals exist in every culture and can persist nearly unchanged for centuries, their logic has remained a mysteryuntil now. Size: 8vo - 8" - 9" Tall. Nº de ref. del artículo: 075857

Hardcover. Condición: New. From adopting lucky charms to following elaborate religious ceremonies, every human culture features rites that in many cases have remained unchanged for centuries. Anthropologist and cognitive scientist Dimitris Xygalatas explores the 'transformative power' of such behaviour, demonstrating how addressing our primordial need for ritual helps strengthen our connections to one another and give meaning to our lives.
