ISBN: 9780195077742 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Several years ago in Rajasthan, an eighteen-year-old woman was burned on her husband's funeral pyre and thus became sati.

Bhutan: Ways of Knowing (Hc)

Ashwini Tambe challenges linear readings of how laws create effects and demonstrates...
