Item description from seller

Berkeley: University of California Press, 1996. 6" wide by 9" tall. Trade paperback. Very Good+ condition. No store stamp, owner's name or bookplate. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Bright, shiny, clean, square, tight, unmarked copy. Flat, uncreased spine. Illustrations. Glossary. Chapter notes. Bibliography. Index. From the rear cover: "The monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have severely limited the portrayal of the divine as feminine. But in Hinduism, 'God' very often means 'Goddesses.' This extraordinary collection explores twelve different Hindu Goddesses, all of whom are in some way related to Devi, the Great Goddess. They range from the liquid goddess-energy of the River Ganges to the possessing, entrancing heat of Bhagavati and Seranvali. They are local, like Vindhavasini, and global, like Kali; ancient, like Saranyu, and modern, like 'Mother India.' The collection combines analysis of texts with intensive fieldwork, allowing the reader to see how goddesses are worshiped in everyday life. In these essays the divine feminine in Hinduism is revealed as never before -- fascinating, contradictory, powerful. John Stratton Hawley is Professor of Religion at Bernard College and Director of the National Resource Center for South Asia at Columbia University. Donna Marie Wulff is Associate Professor of Religion at Brown University.". Second printing. Soft Cover. Original pictorial wraps. xii, 352pp. .

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.
