On the occasion, Dr. Jones remarked, “The field of shamanism has grown rapidly since the 1970s, yet until now there has been no comprehensive bibliography on the phenomenon available for people to consult. With this publication, we are now able to look across both time and space when trying to understand and grasp the complexity that makes up shamanism in North America.”
Containing over 700 bibliographic references dating as far back as the 1800s up until the present-day, the book is already garnering good reviews and is proving to be a valuable resource. “Shamanism, both the practice of it in terms of individual experience and access to consciousness, as well as its history in human cultures has long been an area of focus. In some sense, this book was created in part for my own research,” commented Dr. Jones. However, not it is available to a much wider audience, helping to advance the field of shamanic studies.
