Reviews
'...Likely to stimulate debate...researchers working in the fields that Elizabeth De Michelis spans will find this an interesting and, at certain points, provocative study.' Volume 21, Number 1, "A History of Modern Yoga makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the roots of yoga, theconnections between Western and Neo-Vedantic esotericism, and ways in whichHindu reformers remained active agents in combating Orientalist constructionsof Hinduism, even while influencing Western audiences....this book is mostappropriate for graduate students or advanced undergraduates." Missiology An International Review,October 2005, 'A History of Modern Yoga is a timely work of astute, rigorous, critical scholarship. De Michelis has done an outstanding job' Prof Joseph Alter University of Pittsburgh, "A History of Modern Yoga makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the roots of yoga, theconnections between Western and Neo-Vedantic esotericism, and ways in whichHindu reformers remained active agents in combating Orientalist constructionsof Hinduism, even while influencing Western audiences....this book is mostappropriate for graduate students or advanced undergraduates." -- Missiology -- An International Review,October 2005, 'carefully researched and closely-argued . . . Far more than a reconstruction of the history of Modern Yoga, the book is an important contribution to the history of Orientalism, the Brahmo Samaj, and Neo-Vedanta.' Prof David Gordon White Department of Religious Studies University of California, Santa Barbara, De Michelis (faculty of Divinity, Cambridge) has made an important contribution to modern scholarship in religion with this history of yogic practice. Many readers will find her style dry in the extreme, but she is quite adept at unstitching the many complex strands of association and precedent that have gone into the modern concepts of yogic practice, from 18th-century Bengal to 20th-century America. A crucial addition to academically inclined libraries and an important eyeopener for larger collections., '...De Michelis greatly adds to our knowledge of how contemporary presentations of yoga differ from earlier ones.'

This seller must have died or he is a scammer. Have contacted several times on this item, has not shipped from from his location. Today was the last day, will not buy anything from this place again. How can this item which was purchased on Oct 5 still not shipped. This means seller is selling inventory he does not have. Worst experience ever with EBAY and diazbetterdeals.
