Publisher Synopsis
This reference work breaks new ground in the scope of its coverage; both historic and geographic; its 32 chronologies span from 2,000,000 B.C.E. to 1998 C.E. and include not only China, Japan, and India, as expected, but also Malaysia and the countries composing Southeast Asia and Central Asia... This one of a kind work belongs in all libraries where patrons have an interest in Asia. Library Journal This volume offers chronologies for the countries of Asia from the paleolithic era through 1998... Although academic libraries may seem to be the natural home for this comprehensive chronology, it would be a good choice for reference collections in large public libraries as well. Booklist This book is the first to fully chronicle Asia, with more than 30 chronologies for all its countries... Though this is very much a bird's-eye view, there is a surprising amount of detail. -- Donald Richie The Japan Times Read more...
