This book combines the complexities of neuro-ophthalmologic and
neuro-otologic disorders into one concise guidebook. It focuses on
the basics of these two challenging subspecialties, encountered by
the neurologist, ophthalmologist, otolaryngologist, neurosurgeon,
emergency medicine provider, and others. Comprehensive and
succinct, the book contains chapters examining representative case
vignettes that highlight typical historical elements and exam
findings that aid in diagnosing a specific disease, disorder, or
syndrome. Before each heading, chapters offer a brief review of
relevant anatomy, physiology, and examination techniques.
Additionally, symptom-based tables guide the practitioner to a
focused history and examination for rapid real-time triage and
diagnosis. Practical and case-based, Neuro-Ophthalmology and
Neuro-Otology is an invaluable resource for practitioners,
trainees, and residents in various fields.
"Gold has cleverly managed to write an important new genealogy for
the history of religions, and like any good genealogist, he sets
out to resolve a shadow in our ancestry. The issue at hand is not
science versus disguised theory or imagination, but the blessed
union between a vital science and a keen sense of the aesthetics of
religiohistorical writing. This is a ground-breaking work,
essential reading for scholars and students of religion."--Joanne
Punzo Waghorne, Professor of Religious Studies, University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, and co-editor of "Gods of Flesh, Gods of
Stone: The Embodiment of Divinity in India
"A most important and original corrective to a confused and
self-contradictory set of dogmas that have split the field of
comparative religions in disastrous ways in past decades."--Wendy
Doniger, Mircea Eliade Professor of the History of Religion,
University of Chicago
"An engaging, refreshing and exciting book. This impressive
account of humanistic writing about religion in the 20th century
greatly expands the history of the study. And for people who
already know the history, Gold's approach comes as a breath of
fresh air."--Greg Alles, author of "The Iliad, the Ramayana, and
the Work of Religion: Failed Persuasion and Religious
Mystification
"At long last, an up-to-date, theoretically sophisticated
exploration of the history of religions and religious studies and
their development in the 20th century! Focusing on the many ways in
which influential scholars have creatively managed an intrinsic
tension between aesthetic sensitivity and scientific commitment,
Gold provides a richly documented account. Fascinating Truths is
one of those very rarediscipline-oriented books that both illumines
the past and establishes a creative trajectory for the
future."--Frank Reynolds, Professor Emeritus of History of
Religions at the University of Chicago and editor of "Religion and
Practical Reason
Provincial Hinduism explores intersecting religious worlds in an
ordinary Indian city that remains close to its traditional roots,
while bearing witness to the impact of globalization. Daniel Gold
looks at modern religious life in the central Indian city of
Gwalior, drawing attention to the often complex religious
sensibilities behind ordinary Hindu practice. Gold describes
temples of different types, their legendary histories, and the
people who patronize them. He also explores the attraction of Sufi
shrines for many Gwalior Hindus. Delicate issues of socioreligious
identity are highlighted through an examination of neighbors living
together in a locality mixed in religion, caste, and class.
Pursuing issues of community and identity, Gold turns to Gwalior's
Maharashtrians and Sindhis, groups with roots in other parts of the
subcontinent that have settled in the city for generations. These
groups function as internal diasporas, organizing in different ways
and making distinctive contributions to local religious life. The
book concludes with a focus on new religious institutions invoking
nineteenth-century innovators: three religious service
organizations inspired by the great Swami Vivekenanda, and two
contemporary guru-centered groups tracing lineages to Radhasoami
Maharaj of Agra. Gold offers the first book-length study to analyze
religious life in an ordinary, midsized Indian city, and in so
doing has created an invaluable resource for scholars of
contemporary Indian religion, culture, and society.
