Críticas
"Bringing together history and ethnographic interviews, (NYU Press, $23) argues that Hindu-inspired meditation movements are a distinct type of new religious movement, even if their followers and leaders may repeat the "mantra" that they are "spiritual but not religious."" -Religion Watch, "Highly recommended."-CHOICE, "The author explores the hybrid forms of spiritual practice that emerged in the West, especially in the United States, over the last century as a result of the encounter with Hinduism in its myriad forms."-Frank J. Korom, "Religious Studies Review" -, "In this highly readable study, Williamson not only places Hindu-inspired meditation movements within the larger picture of the historical context of American religion and culture, but also gives us an intimate glimpse into the motivations and experiences of long-time practitioners. Combining both insider and outsider perspectives, she provides a rich, balanced, and sympathetic account of these movements, while not shying away from the controversies they have generated. This book is a 'must-read' for those interested in both Indian spirituality and American pluralism." -Kathleen M. Erndl, author of "Victory to the Mother: The Hindu Goddess of Northwest India in Myth, Ritual, and Symbol"
Reseña del editor
When investigating the intricate interactions of the human body, how can one represent bodily function and activity on paper? Most biomedical research progresses through simplifying complex systems by reducing them to smaller subsystems. Network thermodynamics generalizes techniques used in various branches of engineering, making it possible to resynthesize complex wholes from the subsystems studied. In this book, Donald C. Mikulecky makes accessible some of the most sophisticated techniques of the computer age and applies them to the most complicated of systems, the living organism. The book begins with a review of classical thermodynamic reasoning and shows what it can do and where it falls short. It then shows how network analysis revolutionized electronics by using a relatively simple methodology combining graph theory and the definitions of resistance, capacitance, and inductance. The book shows how the most complex of dynamics systems can be solved by this method, even in the areas of biofluid kinetics, pharmacokinetics, and other dynamics systems of living organisms. To date, no book such as this, combining theory and application, has been available. This book is essential for students and researchers in biomedical engineering and advanced graduate students and researchers in physiology.
