"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.

Expectations exceeded (and illuminated!)
I am so stoked about this purchase. Our outdoor lighting situation was terrible- motion-activated lights that cut out after ten minutes and zero power outlets outside. This umbrella light exceeded every expectation. Three brightness modes, all bright enough to actually see what you’re doing — no more squinting while socializing, reading, or attempting to do “work” outside. Cordless, easy to install, and long lasting. If you consistently forget to turn them off when you're done, you'll get about a week and a half from the batteries on the lowest setting.

Let there be light!
Easy to assemble. Lights are very bright. Very sturdy even with terrible storms it's still working and bright

Okay
I like that it fits my umbrella well, hinges open for easy application and removal, and that it has enough light for us to see our food at night.
I do not like that half of the outer lights do not work part of the time until I take out the batteries and swap them around.
Fine enough for the price, not worth the hassle of returning.

Easy to use.
Works well. Light is bright. Our new patio umbrella does not have e a center pole, so the lights get somewhat blocked. But still pretty useful.
