Reviews

This outstanding anthology promises to propel the anthropological study of dreaming in important new directions. Indeed, researchers who assume that psychology and cognitive neuroscience are the primary disciplines of dream investigation will likely be surprised at the thought-provoking and critically acute discussions in this book.
