Around 1700, artists in Udaipur began creating large, immersive paintings to convey the mood of the city's palaces, lakes, and mountains. A Splendid Land explores how painters depicted places, mapped terrains, celebrated water resources, and triggered memories to foster political and personal attachments to land. With dazzling works made over a period of two hundred years that extends from Mughal to colonial India, and by drawing upon previously untranslated sources and engaging with the history of the senses, this publication opens early modern art history to new interpretative possibilities, while revealing the visual logic and beauty of Udaipur paintings.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The shared death experience (SDE) is a common but not commonly discussed occurrence that happens between a family member and a loved one who is dying. Unlike the near-death experience, a shared death experience is when the person who is sitting next to a dying person has an experience where they feel as though they are experiencing what the dying patient is experiencing. White golden light, a warmth, a sense of eternal love, and an everlasting bond that seems to pervade the hospice or hospital room. This is not only limited to one person, but whole family members have reported feeling these same experiences also. This book aims to delve further into the shared death experience so that we can not only understand what these experiences are, but to bring comfort and solace to ourselves, our communities and our loved ones.
