Frazers classic The Golden Bough may justifiably be called the foundation that modern anthropology is based on. While it has been discredited in some areas since its 1st publication, it has stood the test of time remarkably well. Its still the best book known of to explain the origins of magical and religious thought to a new student of comparative religions.

Power of myth
/ Campbell, Joseph; Moyers, Bill; Flowers, Betty Sue (ed.)
|
1991
|
|
|
|
| Publication |
New York, Anchor Books, 1991.
|
| Description |
xx, 298pBlack Spine
|
| Summary/Abstract |
Joseph Campbell, who died on October 31, 1987, was the world's foremost authority on mythology, a preeminent scholar, writer, and teacher whose work has had a profound influence on millions. To him, mythology was "the song of the universe, the music of the spheres." In The Power of Myth, he and distinguished journalist Bill Moyers offer a brilliant combination of wisdom and wit in conversations that range from modern marriage ("Marriage is a relationship. When you make the sacrifice in marriage, you're sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship") to virgin births, from savior figures to heroic figures such as Luke Skywalker from Star Wars ("...By overcoming the dark passions, the hero symbolizes our ability to control the irrational savages within us.") The Power of Myth is a great summing up of Joseph Campbell's work, sure to stand alongside his two celebrated classics The Hero With a Thousand Faces and The Masks of God and his recent The Atlas of World Mythology.
