Reviews

MD2 is an excellent presentation of the dominant approach to the Demon in recent years. It is the second, greatly revised, edition of a collection that appeared in 1990 (hereafter MD1) and contributed significantly to the Demon's recent popularity. Let me conclude by highly recommending MD2 as an introduction to mainstream Demonology: its introduaction is a very good outline of this approach; the reprinted articles are among the most influential in their fields; and the comprehensive annotated bibliography is a tool without which - since MD1 came out in 1990 - work in the field can hardly be imagined. Orly R. Shenker, Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics, Vol 35 Iss 3
