Ghana's North Research on Culture, Religion, and Politics of Societies in Transition Book

The text was a bit dry, and I wouldn't exactly recommend it for light reading. I mean, the first chapter went on and on about skull shapes. Skull. Shapes. The author also assumes the reader knows enough about ancient history such as who lived where and what civilization conquered which, so if you don't know much about that you might have a little difficulty placing them as you read. I did like the way he doesn't talk down on the Celtic religion in the way a lot of authors who wrote around that time frame (this was originally published in 1911, I believe). I've read a lot where you get the sense that the author is biased and looks down on "pagan" religions in a oh-how-cute-look-how-uncivilized-they-were-before-Christianity way that gets really annoying. In fact, MacCulloch actually acknowledges that the coming of Christianity distorted a lot of things about the Celtic religion and myth. In the end I liked it ok, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who isn't a big Celtic mythology fan.
