Review

"Collected in Legends of the Earth, Sea, and Sky: An Encyclopedia of Nature Myths are hundreds of traditional stories from cultures around the world that tell of an animated universe. Stunning in their imagery and poignant in their persistent tendency to find life and will in volcanoes, storms, wind, clouds, rain, lightning, fire, comets, sun, and stars, they teach us what it meant to our forebears to live in the world." "This comprehensive volume is beautifully illustrated and easy to use. Fully cross-referenced, with culture and subject indexes, a guide to primary sources, and a detailed bibliography, Legends of the Earth, Sea, and Sky is an outstanding reference work for students and others interested in how legends of the natural world cut to the heart of the unexplained."--Jacket
