Publisher Synopsis
"The editor . . . has accomplished a monumental task in pulling together a work conveying such a disparate region. . . .

Summing Up: Highly recommended.

Highly recommended for public, academic, and some high school libraries for the broad coverage and generally easy-to-understand articles." - Booklist Read more...
