Book Reviews of The Book of Shiva (Book of)
Book Review: An excellent midlevel source
Summary: 5 Stars
The book largely assumes basic knowledge of Hinduism; Gokhale briefly defines key Sanskrit terms the first time they are mentioned, and then uses the Sanksrit rather than translating. Each chapter covers an aspect of Shiva (often this means exploring various tensions of opposites). I found the book to be well-written, informative, and an excellent jumping-off point to further research.
