During the early medieval period; from the seventh to the ninth centuries; the area of western India now known as Rajasthan was transformed from a politically and artistically minor region to one of relative importance. Rajasthan was the homeland of the Gurjara Pratiharas; one of the most powerful dynasties in northern India; and many important temples were produced during their brief tenure there. While these monuments provide rich sources of information about iconographic preferences and artistic styles; this book argues that they further provide important; and overlooked; clues to Rajasthan's charged early political history. In analyzing sculptural style and iconographic programs within chronological and regional parameters; the book proposes that the Gurjara Pratihara presence in Rajasthan was energizing but disruptive; particularly to dominant religious and stylistic patterns in the region.

Como una version completaBy Luis CabreraAunque presentado en una versión reducida; este volumen no deja de tener toda la profundidad de una versión completa. Muy interesante y muy bien adaptado de su original en ingles. Aprendà mucho sobre la fisiologÃa del embrión humano al compararlo con el de aves; peces y mamÃferos en las primeras etapas de su desarrollo. Pude obtener datos interesantes sobre los primates parecidos al ser humano y me impacto el cumulo de comparaciones que el autor utiliza para sustentar sus planteamientos. Muy interesante; pues el autor explica todos sus argumentos paso a paso tomando recursos de la misma naturaleza. Es como viajar con Darwin sobre el Beagle mientras visitaba las Galápagos. Lo recomiendo; vale la pena leer sus paginas y aprender un poco mas.
