Neither a debunker nor an advocate, Michael Brown examines why so many intelligent Americans have turned to channeling as a source of spiritual guidance and how this links with older and more esoteric native religions.

American Spirituality in an Anxious Age

The Channeling Zone

Annotation "An outstanding and innovative study on hunting, gardening, and love magic among the Aguaruna. . . . [It is] both highly useful ethnographically and an important contribution to the understanding of how a primitive culture conceptualizes its transactions with nature. The book touches on cosmology and religion as well as the ethnoecology of hunting and agriculture--with an interlude on sex." --American Ethnologist

'War of Shadows' is the haunting story of a failed uprising in the Peruvian Amazon - told largely by people who were there. Anthropologists Brown and Fernández write about an Amazonian people whose contacts with outsiders have repeatedly begun in hope and ended in tragedy.
