Magic: A History: From Alchemy to Witchcraft, from the Ice Age to the Present

byChris Gosden

Focused on a History: From Alchemy to Witchcraft, from the Ice Age to the Present, Magic brings Chris Gosden's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of history and religion. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
