Organized around seven key myths-representing the Irish, Greek, Sumerian, Indonesian, Amazonian, and Inuit cultures, as well as the fantasy world of J. R. R. Tolkien-this book is the perfect intro-duction to the common themes found in world mythology. Curtiss Hoffman, a noted archaeologist and anthropologist, takes us beyond the entertaining stories and uses insights from cultural anthropology and analytical psychology to analyze the many common themes found throughout. In particular, he examines the significance of names, numbers, plants, animals, the heavenly bodies, and the human body. \u003ci\u003eThe Seven Story Tower \u003c\/i\u003ewill enhance the reader's appreciation of myth's power today over our lives and cultures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Curtiss Hoffman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books (AZ)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.74h x 5.78w x 0.93d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738205953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCurtiss Hoffman, Ph.D.\u003c\/b\u003e, is Professor of Sociology and Anthropology at Bridgewater State College.
