This anthology fulfils that gap substantially, through the essays by scholars from religious studies, geography, anthropology and cultural studies. Of course, there are books on the thematic or disciplinary-packed orientation, however rarely any interdisciplinary book that narrates many perspectives and facets around sacred geography of goddesses is published. In view of appreciating the path in this direction paved by David Kinsley (1939-2000, both on 25 April), this anthology is a memorial tribute to him by his students, friends, associates and admirers, including an essay that critically and rationally examined his contributions and their relevance today. This book consists of fifteen essays that deal with links between ecology and shamanism, landscape and nature spirit, emphasising web of meanings imbued in the cultural tradition of portraying landscape as temple and territory as archetypal representation of the cosmos.
