Chris Gosden is a British archaeologist and professor at the University of Oxford. The History of Magic, available as an audiobook and book, traces the role of magic in human culture from the Ice Age to the present day, arguing that magical thinking has been as important to human development as science and religion. Gosden writes with archaeological authority and engaging narrative, making readers and listeners see human history from a fresh angle.
