Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary look at the lands and peoples of the non-Western world. The level of detail it provides is great and the scope of the book is broad. It fills an important gap in the available materials on the non-Western world for college-level introductory coursework in the social sciences." -- David Zurick, Eastern Kentucky University
