"Shamanism is one of the most archaic expressions of humankind's religious quest. It has been a natural focus of anthropological research and studies in comparative religion. This volume is a collection of Juha Pentikäinen's writings on shamanism. Shamanism and Culture differs from other books about this exciting phenomenon. It takes a more holistic and comprehensive approach towards shamanistic research based upon Professor Pentikäinen's field work in shamanistic cultures and societies."--Back cover.
