Right now, choose your current ways to get more information about your reserve. Where is the ornate and iconographically complex Pala art of Bengal-Bihar that extended Buddhist India's reach deep into the eastern tropics, the snowy Himalayas, and into the second millennium?
In a forgiving mood, we shake off the foreboding and barrel ahead. But finally, the magnitude of the omission becomes clear when we try to cross from India into neighboring Tibet and Nepal. Bengal and Bihar are the bridge to the Himalayas and the bridge is out! And Himalayan art itself? How is IT treated in this feverishly awaited volume? Tibet is nowhere to be found; not in the illustrations! For this massive subject of Buddhist and Bon art, there is no chapter at all. And when we search the Index desperately, like dying climbers on the shoulders of Mt.
Kailash, for even honorary mentions of what is arguably the richest iconographic tradition in Buddhist Asia we find almost nothing. Nepal had a single entry. Bhutan too, one. Tibet is mentioned four times, once for its language, once for it geographical location as part of China , once for the fact that Mongolian invaders of China practiced the Shakya Sa skya branch of Tibetan Buddhism, and once, bizarrely, for an 8th century polo match that it lost to China.

For an Asian art history course without Tibet and Nepal is like Indian food without cumin or coriander, like Thai pagodas without gold. There is not a single sand mandala in this book! There is not a single thangka. And the one chorten that is illustrated in the book is the Mongolian "White Stupa" in Beijing.
When you discover that an essential part of something is missing, you can experience a strange mix of incredulity, awe and confusion. When you discover that even the pathways and bridges to the missing thing are also missing, you get downright suspicious, even angry. In the classroom the professor has to scramble to deal with the omission.
The professor admits ignorance or otherwise points out some interesting facts about the publishing business. The course stops for 10 minutes to discuss the expansion of Pearson Education to Pearson Education Asia and the dozens of locations of Pearson Education China especially by far Pearson's greatest Asian focus.
Some begin to bristle at the possibility that a foreign nation can induce a publisher in New Jersey to cheat American students of key parts of their art history education…. Two Stars By jennifer uche Boring to read. Just need for class. Blanchard, Marika Sardar Kindle.
