Interesting reading, but I was slightly disappointed in the lack of detail in many cases, and I was not satisfied with the boast of completeness. It deserves a further edition (if it hasn't happened already, that is) with more entries and editorial corrections, as there are several punctuation errors and the rare margin note marker pointing to a missing note! Still, I've yet to see anything more thorough in its broadness.
Symbols and Their Meanings: The Illustrated Guide to More Than 1, 000 Symbols - Their Traditional and Contemporary Significance by Jack Tresidder
Overview of symbols and how they have been used to communicate ideas about life and the natural and supernatural worlds.
Book split into a number of main sections: spirit incarnate; soul, mind and supernatural; animal world; plant kingdom; spirits of the cosmos; art and artefacts; patterns and graphics; symbol systems.
Lots of clear photos and diagrams plus easy to read and engaging text.
