The mammoth book of superstition
Bainton, Roy2016
Book
Rather than providing a dictionary of superstitions, of which there are already numerous excellent, exhaustive and, in many cases, academic works which list superstitions from A to Z, Roy Bainton gives us an entertaining flight over the terrain, landing from time to time in more thought-provoking areas. He gives an overview of humanity's often illogical and irrational persistence in seeking good luck and avoiding misfortune.
