“My big news is the publication of a book I first conceptualized about 40 years ago. It proved too complex to complete during my time as professor of anthropology at SUNY, Buffalo. After my retirement in 2019 it became an ideal project — and a great distraction from the COVID pandemic! It confronts two long- and widely-discussed topics: Rethinking the Anthropology of Magic and Witchcraft: Inherently Human (Routledge 2024; ISBN 9781032414263) [please set title in italics]. It presents an entirely new theory of what are in fact universal human beliefs — as expressed in the subtitle. It is a textbook, but easily readable by all.” – Phil Stevens ’59
