This lucid and readily understandable book covers all the domains into which symbolism extends and relates to both its social and psychological aspects. The author shows how symbolism is involved in our social and interpersonal lives, how it is used in such diverse areas as sports and the arts and in more traditional areas like religion and ceremonial ritual. She also demonstrates how symbolism is studied by scholars, the various ways in which it is interpreted, and most interestingly, how it is used in those parts of the world that are mainly nonliterate.
