Encyclopaedia of Asia : Land, Culture and People is a unique attempt in the sense that for the first time the editors have attempted to provide readers with most contemporary information-base about these very important countries, forming the said region, called Asia. This encyclopaedia provides students, scholars, professionals and general readers access to the in-depth knowledge about key people, places, events, issues and processes across Asia in a comprehensive and interdisciplinary way. Simultaneously, readers will get a comparative perspective; both in temporal and spatial terms, as far as intra-country studies are concerned.
