The Living Goddesses by Marija Gimbutas (Hardcover) 1999, 1st Edition, B332, New

Description: 3 About this productProduct InformationThe Living Goddesses crowns a lifetime of innovative, influential work by one of the twentieth-century's most remarkable scholars. Marija Gimbutas wrote and taught with rare clarity in her original--and originally shocking--interpretation of prehistoric European civilization. Gimbutas flew in the face of contemporary archaeology when she reconstructed goddess-centered cultures that predated historic patriarchal cultures by many thousands of years. This volume, which was close to completion at the time of her death, contains the distillation of her studies, combined with new discoveries, insights, and analysis. Editor Miriam Robbins Dexter has added introductory and concluding remarks, summaries, and annotations. The first part of the book is an accessible, beautifully illustrated summation of all Gimbutas's earlier work on "Old European" religion, together with her ideas on the roles of males and females in ancient matrilineal cultures. The second part of the book brings her knowledge to bear on what we know of the goddesses today--those who, in many places and in many forms, live on.Product IdentifiersPublisherUniversity of California PressISBN-100520213939ISBN-139780520213937eBay Product ID (ePID)986574Product Key FeaturesBook TitleLiving GoddessesAuthorMarija GimbutasFormatHardcoverLanguageEnglishTopicArchaeology, Ancient, Folklore & Mythology, Antiquities & Archaeology, Ethnic & Tribal, HistoryPublication Year1999GenreReligion, Social ScienceNumber of Pages306 Pages book in new clean condition for pages and covers.
