Conciseness carried to extremes,
By Theophanu (Hattiesburg, MS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Concise Encyclopedia of Hinduism (Paperback)
This encyclopedia certainly aims at comprehensive treatment of Hinduism; its articles range from the earliest legendary figures and texts of Hinduism to the present, and include a nice balance of different periods and regions, as well as doctrine. But it is also very frustrating to use as a resource---many entries are only one or two sentences, and just don't give enough information to be enlightening (besides not supplying any references for further reading). I found myself constantly wanting more.
