Paperback. Condition: NEW. Print on Demand. This book examines the concept of sacred spaces from an interdisciplinary viewpoint, with essays ranging from archaeology to religious studies. The idea of sacred places started with the earliest hominids and has continued across the globe in many traditions and cultures. The book traces the development of these spaces as physical places where rituals and beliefs were performed, to more abstract spaces such as the interior of the mind. The book emphasizes the connections between sacred spaces and artistic production, with essays looking at examples from cave paintings and megalithic structures up to the present day to illustrate this relationship. Ultimately, this book provides a better understanding of the evolution of belief and the ways individuals and cultures relate to their environment.
