Mao’s Bestiary: Medicinal Animals and Modern China
AU$40.00 Read MoreAdd to cartLiz P. Y. Chee
Durham and London: Duke University Press, 2021.“A history of the rising use of “medicinal animals” in modern China. While animal parts and tissue had been present in Chinese medicine from an early date, the book argues that their role in the Chinese pharmacopiea greatly expanded and became systematized in the changed political and economic circumstances of the early Communist period. Mao’s Bestiary is the first book to place medicinal animals squarely within the historiography of Chinese medicine. In an age of controversy over the ethics and efficacy of faunal medicalization, its perpensity to foster zoonotic diseases and its devastating effect on wildlife conservation in China and worldwide, the book contributes a much-needed historical perspective, explaining the modern origins of what is too casually taken to be traditional practice” (publisher’s blurb)

AU$40.00 Read MoreAdd to cartRamacandra Cintaman Dhere
Melbourne: Monash University Publishing, 2020.Translated from Marathi and with an introductory chapter and annotation by Jayan Bhalcandra Bapat. “Lajjagauri is perhaps one of India’s oldest goddesses with images of her in South Asia dating back to the Indus Civilisation c. 3,000 to 1,500 BC. Her devotees can be traced back even earlier to the Ukraine c. 10,000 BCE. In India, new finds continue to expand the geographical spread of Lajjagauri’s devotees, most recently to Odisa. Dhere’s work on Lajjagauri is based on tireless pursuits of her image throughout western India. In contrast to the other thousands of Indian goddesses whose images are super abundant, Lajjagauri has become more reclusive as other deities have risen.” (publisher’s blurb)
