"This richly detailed study of the five elements in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain thought is an exemplary work of constructive theology … Thanks to Chapple's lucid writing style, his argument will be accessible to specialists and nonspecialists alike. This well-written book will be a valuable resource for those interested in South Asian religions, practitioners of Yoga, and readers interested in ecology in general." — CHOICE"Chapple has brought together material that informs and educates others into the depth and profundity of what Yoga is and its relevance today. It is a timely work in our recognition of the need for greater reflection, contemplation, awakening, and action for the benefit of all life." — Ian Whicher, coeditor of Yoga: The Indian Tradition
