And of course all those interested in Semiotic or medical anthropology who will gain further insight into the relationships between healer and patient.A" * Anthropos Lindquist's book makes two important contributions, the first anthropological, and the second ethnographic - Lindquist clearly brought passion, care, and the highest ethical standards to her role as ethnographer, to the great benefit of her readers. When telling these stories, her writing is always clear, often elegant, and sometimes deeply moving.A" * Slavic Review
