Just 60 years after winning independence from British rule, India's economy is booming and the nation is fast becoming a leading global power. With a population of a billion people, India's society is as varied as its awe-inspiring landscape. Home to a dizzying array of languages, ethnic groups, beliefs, and lifestyles, India can seem overwhelming in its complexity. This book takes the lid off this cultural melting pot, showing how past events have shaped this diverse but unified nation, where tradition and modernity successfully coexist. Through stunning photography and insightful text, it offers an eye-opening, thought-provoking, and authoritative visual guide to one of the world's most exciting and vibrant nations.--From publisher description.… (mere)

Bought this book at Borders the other day - $7.99 and a steal, if I do say so. Normally, the books on the super clearance shelf at Borders are there for a reason: they're big and useless and no one wants them. But I have an obsession with India, and I think this 350 page, full color, coffee table book is amazing.
Divided into six sections:
1. Landscape - beautiful full page picture
2. History - easy to read, full of pictures, comprehensive timeline covering 6000 years of Indian history
3. People - day-in-the-life of random Indians
4. Culture - mostly text, explaining complex indian cultures & beliefs
5. Archetecture - my favourite section, floorplans and pictures of an assortment of indian building
6. Travel - a short section covering the main attractions of the Indian subcontinent

There is so much information packed into this book, and in a very aesthetically pleasing way. Its not the definitive history book, or travel guide, or cultural treatise, but it incorporates aspects of all these things and displays them in a beautiful tomb perfect for browsing and flipping through.
