This is the book's very final chapter, when Tarnas finally comes around to discuss these issues and to say. A look at the index, in fact, reveals that the term "Goddess worship" appears once, and not until page 443.

Tarnas takes us through the several stages of Greek thought, through the rise of Christianity and and the evolution of Westerners' view of themselves and their place in the universe over the centuries. This is a relatively comprehensive survey of Western thought from the early Greeks through modern times. ![]() ![]() But after his scholarship is threatened, Miles uncovers a chilling plot, one that puts his friends, his neighborhood, and himself at risk.

Yet a CBS legal executive tweeted a different take, connecting the Vegas shooting with the Sandy Hook school shooting which left twenty children dead. The shooter killed 58 and injured 851 others. On 1 October 2017, a gunman opened fire on the crowd at a concert in Las Vegas.

TWITW is well written and has more fully developed characters than GOAT. While they both have seemingly unreliable heroines, GOAT has an alcoholic who has a drinking problem due marital problems, in TWITW, we have Anna who drinks too much and self medicates and part of the story is finding out why she's doing it.
