{"product_id":"the-iconic-female-jayant-bhalchandra-bapat-9781876924669","title":"The Iconic Female: Goddesses of India, Nepal and Tibet","description":"The energy of the goddess fills every facet of Indian life. To her devotees, the goddess appears in myriad forms: mother, boon-giver, destroyer of evil, divine lover, protector and\/or bloodthirsty ogress. The more that is discovered about her, the more teasingly complex and multivalent the Devi appears. She is both constant and changing, loved and feared, worshipped and forgotten, only to be re-discovered and worshiped again. In this book, for the first time, ten Australian researchers, working on many aspects of the Devi, have come together and offered, in a single collection, new research on the divine female. This book begins a renewed quest for the iconic Devi who continues to emerge in her many, unpredictably powerful forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jayant Bhalchandra Bapat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1876924667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781876924669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Monash Asia Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.80w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2009 pg. 18","brand":"Jayant Bhalchandra Bapat","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440085774591,"sku":"9781876924669","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ddbb5a7d-ad1c-463b-b540-6cda2b961433.jpg?v=1777180304","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-iconic-female-jayant-bhalchandra-bapat-9781876924669","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
