Erik Davis has written several excellent books on technology, pop culture, and spirituality - typically all in the same book. This one raises the bar - a coffee table book with fantastic photographs that must be seen to be believed, of spiritual sites all over California. Worth every cent of the $40 original price; on Alibris it's the bargain of the century. Five very big stars.
