Whitmore explores the longer story of this powerful realm of the Hindu god Shiva through a holistic theoretical perspective that integrates phenomenological and systems-based approaches to the study of religion, pilgrimage, place, and ecology. He argues that close attention to places of religious significance offers a model for thinking through connections between ritual, narrative, climate destabilization, tourism, development, and disaster, and he shows how these critical components of human life in the twenty-first century intersect in the human experience of place.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Luke Whitmore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42960436953206,"sku":"9780520298026","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/1374\/6550\/files\/CoreSourceHub_9a7143f4-0aee-4325-9ed7-0b0a7f1c4dc0.jpg?v=1767795715","url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/mountain-water-rock-god-9780520298026","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
