This book is extremely well researched. It is the most definitive collection of world goddesses available. The book is broken up into pantheons and attributes with an alphabetical index at the back. Though the descriptions aren't as in-depth as they could be the authors have done a great job of timelining the development and adaption that has taken place with each goddess over the centuries. I am astounded at their success in conquering such a magnitude of information. I reference this work constantly and am so glad to own it. A must for any goddess worshipper or academic scholar of mythology and religions!
