As he writes in Last of the Medicine Men, people in the West have never come to terms with the spiritual dimension of peoples around the world--so, in this new adventure, Allen travels to remote corners of Indonesia, Siberia, Haiti and Mexico, in search of a natural unity. The author examines diverse cultures that include the shanty towns of Haiti, the jungles of Siberut Island and the mountains of Mexico. This book accompanies a series of programmes devoted to the customs and rituals of witch doctors and shamans.* A NEAR FINE, author signed copy of the 1st/1st. with minor faults reducing it to VG++*
