Whitmore explores the longer story of this powerful realm of the Hindu god Shiva through a holistic theoretical perspective that integrates phenomenological and systems-based approaches to the study of religion, pilgrimage, place, and ecology. He argues that close attention to places of religious significance offers a model for thinking through connections between ritual, narrative, climate destabilization, tourism, development, and disaster, and he shows how these critical components of human life in the twenty-first century intersect in the human experience of place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49788448145656,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":68.44,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9780520298026-1.jpg?v=1783598136","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9780520298026","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
