"It grows stronger up here," said 6W-438.29G-75 bent over the edge of the pro jecting rampart and looked into the valley-far below. The space ship was many miles down the valley and lost to sight. 119M-5 was first to reach the plateau to which they were climbing and loosed a mental exclamation.""What is it?"" asked the professor, scrambling up beside him and staring at a metal spheroid which glinted hack the rays of the sun.""Spaceship or aircraft of some kind.""All four were now on the plateau, sur prised to find this striking example of civilization on what they had come to con sider an uncivilized world."Dare we go any closer?" 29G-75 sug gested."If any intelligent creatures inside had sinister aims against us, they would prob ably have executed them already while we stood watching."Professor Jameson suited this thought with a slow, deliberate approach.

This book provides insight into the full meaning of rituals that were designed to ensure health and happiness, preserve life, and smooth the moments of passage birth, marriage, death, and the continuum of years."
