Neither Man Nor Woman: The Hijras of India

Nanda's Neither Man Nor Woman
While reading Nanda's Neither Man Nor Woman, I was struck by the sheer competancy and volume of her research. She truly gives a vivid, accurate picture of hijra life, ritual, and social attitude. The hijras are a group of traveling performers/prostitiutes who participate in ritualized castration. They are often homosexual, transsexual, or impotent men who are endowed by society with religious ...

Great for care plans!
I love this book!It should be titled "Care Plans Made Easy". It lists all of the NANDA approved nursing diagnoses and what defines them. Right along with the diagnoses, multiple desired outcomes (NOC) are listed along with definitions. Next to each outcome are the interventions (NIC) that you should/could implement to achieve the desired outcome. These range from major, suggested, and ...

They stake out a vast territory, with works from two millennia in multiple genres: aphorism, lyric, epic, theater, and romance." Willis G. Regier, The Chronicle Review "No effort has been spared to make these little volumes as attractive as possible to readers: the paper is of high quality, the typesetting immaculate. The ...

Great Cultural text
I can't figure out to which article the previous review is referring. It's a little ridiculous and useless to make such an accusation of bias without mentioning what specific article it is that is so grossly biased and derogatory. I would like to know. I myself alwys prefer Nanda and Warms' text for my class. I've reviewed many many texts and just like their format and content the best. It is ...

Nanda Devi
Between the fragmented leadership, conflicting agenda's of the climbers and general lack of cooperation between various members of the expedition it's a small wonder that more people weren't seriously injured or killed. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. The suspense that John Roskelly creates is fantastic. With so many possible things that could go wrong...

A breakthrough study - accessible, too!
A masterful, highly readable survey of an important and fascinating subject. This indispensable, seminal work is concise, but far-reaching. It describes the varied manifestations of gender diversity in a way that permits the reader to perceive the patterns and deeper meanings that underlie cultural differences. This may be the first cross-cultural survey of gender diversity to describe "the ...

Decent survey of JDBC, but with extra fat to be trimmed
For the past 2 years Wrox has been publishing books dedicated to Windows-based data access (ADO etc.), but the same cannot be said about their Java/database collection. Although you find chapters on JDBC scattered all-over almost all server-side Java related books by Wrox, there was no single volume from them that teaches JDBC first, and then show how it is used by the newer dependent ...
Prophets Facing Backward: Postmodern Critiques of Science and Hindu Nationalism in India
12 reviews
Meera Nanda
Rutgers University Press
, 2004
Don't listen to the naysayers
This is a much-needed argument, and excellent research. Nanda levels a devastating attack on the pseudo-science of the Hindu right. She also suggests that a wooly postmodernism in science studies and cultural studies are at best incapable of defending against Hindutva's form of anti-modern 'hybridity'. At worst, postmodernism is a direct asset to the ideology of Hindu nationalism. Some of ...

It also provides nearly all of the interventions for specific dianoses so that none are missed. This book contains a wealth of information that gives nurses evidence that nursing care is unique and results in measurable outcomes! I recommend this book for students and ...

Much needed book for Development and Service orgs.
This is a much needed book for ISVs and other organizations involved in software development because ISO 9001:2000 lays the foundation for larger scale quality initiatives, such as attaining CMM levels 2 and above. More importantly, it not only dispells any misconceptions about ISO 9001 by providing up-to-date information about the 2000 version versus the gaps in earlier versions. What I like ...
