Reviews / Votes
"Dabei zeigen die in dem Band versammelten Beiträge die Stärken, aber auch ein Stück weit die Aporien gegenwärtiger Religionswissenschaft. Ihre Stärken, um nur einige wenige Aspekte zu nennen, liegen etwa in ihren zumeist multidimensionalen und multiperspektivischen Herangehensweisen innerhalb eines breit gefassten kulturwissenschaftlichen Referenzrahmens, in der interdisziplinären Verstrebung mit benachbarten Disziplinen, in der selbstreflexiven Durchdringung aufgrund ihrer Opazität oder sogar Intransigenz oftmals schwer zugänglicher Phänomene, oder im Wagnis, die vor gestellten Überlegungen auch in größere Theoriezusammenhänge einzustellen."

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.

However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
