Recenzje

'This second edition of India before Europe is no mere reprint of the original. The engagingly written text moves seamlessly from discussions of political structure and social-economic history to consideration of large-scale cultural processes and the physical realia of architecture, painting, and textiles. A splendid accomplishment.' Phillip B. Wagoner, Wesleyan University
