Book excerpt: "Most people - even those who insist they are not superstitious - have some sort of amulet or charm that they keep 'just for luck'. Whether these are worn, carried, kept in the home or placed on a horse, boat or car, they are still used as Body Guards to ward off bad luck or attract good fortune." "In this book, the world-famous author Desmond Morris traces the traditions and legends behind over 100 of the most important Body Guards. He explains how each charm or amulet has been used, examining the powers attributed to it and its significance today. The author's own extensive collection of amulets, acquired during his travels in more than 70 countries, has been specially photographed for the book."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
