Review # 1 was written on 2011-12-20 00:00:00 John Mac Also a great introductory textbook for my Folklore class by a truly amazing folklorist here in Utah. Barre Toelken spent most of his professional career working with Navajo family members in Southern Utah. I especially like his introductory metaphor of looking at snail shell's patterns in order to try and discern what his life must have been like. I try to get my students to think about the traces or patterns they leave behind as they go through their lives--some more tangible than others, all of them shaped by other lives.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-04-17 00:00:00 LARRY NAVARRE Really informative and interesting. My favorite quote, regarding "The Sun's Myth": "...Someone's reckless and single-minded addiction to a bright object he can't let go of is a topic that is just as gripping today as it has ever been" (121).
