Thanks for this info, Patrick.  I've been making her History of Ancient and Early Medieval India a set text for my courses for several years now, and it's very good indeed (but sadly she hadn't read your Kingship, Law and Governance before her book was published, so the Mauryan chapter needs to be redone).

I look forward to reading the new one.

Best,
Dominik

With apologies for cross-posting, I want to announce a wonderful new book by Upinder Singh: Political Violence in Ancient India. It demolishes the common stereotypes about non-violence etc. Published by Harvard.
