Always radical, always extremely Other, Tantra has proven a key factor in the imagining of India. This book offers a critical account of how the phenomenon has come to be. Tracing the complex genealogy of Tantra as a category within the history of religions, Hugh B. Urban reveals how it has been formed through the interplay of popular and scholarly imaginations. Tantra emerges as a product of mirroring and misrepresentation at work between East and West--a dialectical category born out of the ongoing play between Western and Indian minds. Combining historical detail, textual analysis, popular cultural phenomena, and critical theory, this book shows Tantra as a shifting amalgam of fantasies, fears, and wish-fulfillment, at once native and Other, that strikes at the very heart of our constructions of the exotic Orient and the contemporary West. 606 $aTantric Buddhism 606 $aTantrism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTantric Buddhism. 615 0$aTantrism. 676 $a294 676 $a294.5/514 700 $aUrban$b Hugh B.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01041527 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449973303321 996 $aTantra$92492032 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03910nam 22006374a 450 001 996208208703316 005 20240524185359.0 010 $a1-281-32221-0 010 $a9786611322212 010 $a0-470-75116-9 010 $a0-470-75044-8 035 $a(CKB)1000000000400425 035 $a(EBL)351363 035 $a(OCoLC)437218624 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000225999 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11235942 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000225999 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10233408 035 $a(PQKB)11664168 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC351363 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000400425 100 $a20041115d2005 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aPractical wildlife care$b[electronic resource] /$fLes Stocker 205 $a2nd ed. 210 $aOxford, UK ;$aAmes, Iowa $cBlackwell Pub.$d2005 215 $a1 online resource (364 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-470-76181-4 311 $a1-4051-2749-X 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 325-329) and index. 327 $aPractical Wildlife Care; Contents; Foreword to the First Edition; Foreword to the Second Edition; Preface to the First Edition; Preface to the Second Edition; Acknowledgements; 1 Prime Directives; 2 First Response; 3 Fluid Therapy Part I: Building Blocks; 4 Fluid Therapy Part II: Administration; 5 Wound Management Part I: The Biology of Wounds; 6 Wound Management Part II: The Treatment of Wounds; 7 Biology and First Aid of Fractures; 8 Fracture Management; 9 Avian Wildlife Disease; 10 Mammalian Wildlife Disease; 11 Garden Birds; 12 Pigeons; 13 Game Birds; 14 Corvids; 15 Water Birds - Ducks 327 $a16 Water Birds - Swans17 Geese and Other Water Birds; 18 Birds of Prey; 19 Seabirds; 20 Hand-rearing Orphaned Birds; 21 Small Mammals; 22 Hedgehogs; 23 Rabbits and Hares; 24 Red Fox; 25 Badgers; 26 Other Mustelids; 27 Deer; 28 Bats; 29 Other Mammal Species; 30 Rearing Orphaned Wild Mammals; 31 Reptiles and Amphibians; Appendix 1 Bat Conservation Trust Guidelines on Handling Bats; Appendix 2 British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) Guidelines for Response to Cetacean Strandings; Appendix 3 Birds on Schedule 4 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as of March 2004) 327 $aAppendix 4 The Law Relating to the Use and Possession of AirgunsAppendix 5 Suggested Record Sheet to Accompany Bat Samples to the Veterinary Laboratory; Appendix 6 Selected Rehabilitation Supplies and Suppliers; Appendix 7 Useful Addresses in Wildlife Rehabilitation; Appendix 8 Rehabilitation Protocol for Otters Contaminated with Oil; References and Further Reading; Index 330 $aWildlife care and rehabilitation is often on a one-to-one basis and involves a lot of time, care and skill. However, for many years, care of injured wildlife was regarded as a low priority and euthanasia was the recommended option. A lot has changed over the past twenty years and now caring for wildlife casualties is part of everyday life in many veterinary practices.Following on from the major success of the first edition, this second edition provides even more useful information on wildlife care and rehabilitation.
