  • Ritual: How Seemingly Senseless Acts Make Life Worth Living

    BasicBinding: Hardcover

    Author: Xygalatas, Dimitris

    Publisher: Little, Brown Spark

    Date Published: 09-2022

    ISBN: 0316462403 | EAN: 9780316462402

    BasicBinding: Hardcover

    Features: Price on Product, Bibliography, Index | Pages: 320

    Annotation: "Ritual is one of the oldest, and certainly most enigmatic, threads in the history of human culture. It presents a profound paradox: people ascribe the utmost importance to their rituals, but few can explain why they are so important. Apparently pointless ceremonies pervade every documented society, from handshakes to hexes, hazings to parades. Before we ever learned to farm, we were gathering in giant stone temples to perform elaborate rites and ceremonies. And yet, though rituals exist in every culture and can persist nearly unchanged for centuries, their logic has remained a mystery--until now. In Ritual, pathfinding scientist Dimitris Xygalatas leads us on an enlightening tour through this shadowy realm of human behavior. Armed with cutting-edge technology and drawing on discoveries from a wide range of disciplines, he presents a powerful new perspective on our place in the world. In birthday parties and coronations, in silent prayer, in fire-walks and terrifying rites of passage, in all the bewildering variety of human life, Ritual reveals the deep and subtle mechanisms that bind us together."--
