Gorgeously jaw-dropping, <i>India</i> has been beautifully redesigned with 32 additional pages of glorious photos shot by Eric Meola since <i>India</i> was first published.<br><br>This revised and expanded version of Eric Meola's 2008 <i>India</i> takes the reader on a journey through Mumbai, Rajasthan, Agra, Dungarpur, along desert roads, to the Ganges water's edge, including spectacular ruins, the Taj Mahal, and the Festival of Elephants, capturing the spectacle and vibrant colors of these ancient regions. <br><br>INDIA is rapidly becoming one of the pre-eminent leaders of the twenty-first century. For more than a decade, Eric Meola has returned repeatedly to India, photographing the people, temples, landscapes, architecture, celebrations, and art of this uniquely exuberant and incredibly diverse country. Meola's journeys took him from the Himalayas and monasteries in the North to the temples of Tamil Nadu in the South, from the color and pageantry of Rajasthan in the West to the tea plantations of Darjeeling in the East. Over 200 photographs (edited from more than 25,000 images) will fill this beautifully printed, large-format book. The photographs will be accompanied by dozens of essays, stories, and poems by contemporary and classical Indian writers.<br><br>Table of Contents<br><br><b>INDIA: In Word & Image</b><br> <b>Photographs by Eric Meola</b><br>  <br> Contents<br>  <br> 19       Eric Meola<br>             My Private India<br> 24       Bharati Mukherjee<br>             Introduction<br> 29       Salman Rushdie<br>             Midnight€s Children<br> 34       I.
