Reviews
Even if one is not a specialist, there is still much of interest in this book.' -- Robert Partridge Ancient Egypt Magazine 2007 ...a welcome addition to our growing corpus of scholarly material on ancient Egyptian magic, offering fresh perspectives on some well-known texts and artifacts,as well as new sources for the study of Egyptian magic, dreams, and prophesy.' -- Elizabeth A. Waraksa Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2007 ...this collection of essays contains a number of valuable contributions to the study of heka and divination in ancient Egypt. Several articles raise important methodological issues when read in combination, and present materials that remained unpublished heretofore. It is hoped that the book will entice others to join the ever growing group of scholars studying the manifold ways in which ancient Egyptians tried to bend nature to their will.' -- Jacco Dieleman, University of California, Los Angeles Aestimatio: Critical Reviews in the History of Science Volume 5 2008 Through a Glass Darkly is a highly thought out collection of Egyptological papers which I believe would interest most people involved in paranthropology and parapsychology...The book itself hopes to inspire new thinking in - what I would class as - the paranthropological aspects, surrounding practices and beliefs in magic, dreams and prophecy in ancient societies. -- Callum Cooper Paranthropology Vol. 4.3, July 2013
