出版商概要
"At first glance the Encyclopedia of the Great Plains might be mistaken for a coffee-table book. Large in format, attratively illustrated, beautifully bound, it could well serve that purpose. But, as David J. Wishart explains in his introduction, the aim is to instruct rather than entertain. More specifically, it is to produce a standard work of reference on a region hitherto poorly defined in the public mind. First conceived back in 1989, it has taken almost a decade of intensive work by a team of some twenty editors and research assistants to complete. In short, it is the product of a massive collaborative effort that has involved soliciting and collating submissions from almost a thousand experts on virtually every aspect of life on the plains. There are 1,316 entries ... dealing with just about everything you might conceivably want to know about what was once called the Great American Desert."--Times Literary Supplement, Novemeber 25, 2005 再讀一些...
