Taboo, Magic, Spirits - A Study of Primitive Elements in Roman Religion
A study of primitive elements in Roman religion, this deals with such topics as witchcraft, taboo, incantations, magic, and the superstitions that affected every part of everyday life. Thoroughly well-researched, while avoiding being 'heavy' reading. Many will find this interesting reading as the sections on prayer, blood sacrifices and raising the hands sets the contextual backdrop for much of the New Testament.

Fuck
This is a book about the word fuck and its intersection with the law and the concept of taboo. In the first chapter, “Why Fuck?” I explain why I didn’t sanitize the title. I applaud my publisher and editors for supporting this decision. Because of this title, my book will likely be the target of many a giggle from middle schoolers. Some parents may shield their kids’ eyes. Those same youthful eyes could just as easily end up reading this book under the covers by flashlight—drawn to it by the very taboo that makes fuck a dirty word.

From a Polynesian word meaning 'prohibition', a taboo is a social more that should not be broken by society's participants, for doing so can mean punishment. This volume discusses the role of the taboo in "Howl", "Lolita", "Lord of the Flies", "The Miller's Tale", and many more works. Featuring original essays and excerpts from previously published critical analyses, each book in the new Bloom's "Literary Themes" series gives students valuable insight into the title's subject theme.
