"Don't miss this equivalent of a brilliant graduate course froma feisty and exhilarating teacher."-The Washington Post An engrossing and definitive narrative account of history and myth, The Hindus offers a new way of understanding one of the world's oldest major religions. Hinduism does not lend itself easily to a strictly chronological account. Many of its central texts cannot be reliably dated within a century; its central tenets arise at particular moments in Indian history and often differ according to gender or caste; and the differences between groups of Hindus far outnumber the commonalities. Yet the greatness of Hinduism lies precisely in many of these idiosyncratic qualities that continues to inspire debate today. This groundbreaking work elucidates the relationship between recorded history and imaginary worlds, the inner life and the social history of Hindus.

Great addition to my home.
Color: Brown, Number Of Shelves: 8, Size: 16in
This 8-piece set of floating shelves from RICHER HOUSE is a fantastic way to add both style and extra storage. The design is sleek and minimalist, giving the illusion that the shelves are floating. The set comes in a variety of sizes, which is great for creating a custom arrangement. The quality is good; the boards are sturdy and the included hardware feels solid. The biggest challenge is the installation. It can be a little tricky to get them perfectly level and flush with the wall, but once they're up, they feel secure. For the value for money, you get a lot of shelves for the price, making them a great option for a budget-friendly home decor refresh.

Perfect for collectors
Color: White, Number Of Shelves: 5, Size: 16in, Color: White, Number Of Shelves: 5, Size: 16in
Perfect for displaying Pokemon and other sports card products.
Holds ETBs and booster packs.
Includes stronger knockoff anchors, though I I didn't even use them since the stuff I placed on top is light weight.
Shelfs are made of MDF with a nice durable melamine finish. Keep in mind due to its width it does not have 16" OC holes.
