A guide to the phenomenon of prophecy, from the Greek oracles to modern tabloid headlines, presenting findings from a balanced perspective. Alphabetical entries examine the role of prophecy in world history, religion, folklore, and literature, and include b&w photos and illustrations. Discussion encompasses the theories of J. W. Dunne, who experimented with seeing the future in dreams; the use of prophecy to promote political agendas; and Morgan Robertson, who described the Titanic disaster 14 years before it happened. Ashe is an author, lecturer, and independent scholar. He has written books on prophecy, mythology, history, and King Arthur. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
