{"product_id":"a-cognitive-theory-of-magic-jesper-srensen-9780759110403","title":"A Cognitive Theory of Magic","description":"The author presents a new theory of magical actions based on a wide array of recent findings in the cognitive sciences. Analysing classical ethnographic cases, he argues that paying close attention to the underlying cognitive processes will not only explain why magical rituals look the way they do, it will also supply new insights into the role of magic in the formation of institutionalised religion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jesper Sensen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0759110409\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780759110403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Altamira Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.32w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2007 pg. 12","brand":"Jesper Sensen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44201712845055,"sku":"9780759110403","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f44b24be-9bc3-4385-b044-8da672423f05.jpg?v=1691490967","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-cognitive-theory-of-magic-jesper-srensen-9780759110403","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
