520    Greek vases and Peruvian bottles, Chinese bronzes and 
       African masks, Tel Brak idols and Egyptian tomb paintings 
       -- artifacts ancient and modern reveal man's universal 
       fascination with the eye and his awe before its mysterious
       powers. In this wide-ranging and richly illustrated essay 
       Albert M. Potts considers the special properties the human
       mind has ascribed to the eye over the millenia and seeks 
       out its peculiar significance as symbol. Amulets against 
       the Evil Eye persist today in nearly every part of the 
       world. Almost as pervasive is the conception of the Good 
       Eye, itself used as a protective.
