The award-winning Encyclopedia of Modern Asia is the definitive resource on the entire sweep of Asia, from the Muslim countries of Southeast Asia, across China, India, and the Central Asian republics to the Turkic nations of western Asia. It provides students, scholars, professionals, and general readers with ready access to information about key people, places, events, issues, and process across Asia. Comprehensive, authoritative, and fully cross-disciplinary, the encyclopedia's focus is Asia since 1850, but ample historical information makes clear how the past influences the present as well as the future. This massive project - 3,000 articles, 2.2 million words of text, hundreds of photographs, 700 authors in 65 countries - extends the global coverage offered in Berkshire Publishing Group's many publications on world cultures, ethnic relations, and the environment. "Accessible to everyone: students will find the lists for further reading particularly useful, and non-specialists will appreciate the consistent clarity and the absence of heavy jargon. The sweeping index takes up nearly half of the final volume and is easy to use. Filling a gap in the literature, this work should be a mainstay in academic, high school, and public libraries. This book was an LJ Best Reference pick." -Library Journal. (Created by Berkshire Publishing and originally published by Charles Scribners Sons.)
