Amazon.co.uk Review
This is an illuminating and constructive journey through the marvels, secrets and mysteries of the visible and invisible world. Especially written for children and their families, this Encyclopedia introduces a wide range of ideas and beliefs that people are finding increasingly valuable--in a world that is coming to recognise that spiritual values and powers are just as important as scientific and mechanical advances.

The aim of this book is to stimulate and raise questions; to encourage its readers to think about the world in different ways. It does not endorse these ideas, nor does it give hard and fast answers to the questions it raises. With practical examples, where possible, to demonstrate how the skill or knowledge can be applied, this is a fascinating introduction to a range of interesting topics. (Ages 8 to adult)
