AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

60 world rituals under 8 broad categories are explained in Adams Media fascinating book. There is an emphasis on the creepy and weird, as mentioned in the subtitle.  I might put this in a high school, as many of the rituals are very “earthy”. Any Geography teacher would love this to use as a supplement to any textbook.  Would also make a great bathroom book!
