In particular, for courses such as History of Asia; Asian History and Film; Cold War in Asia. Since the book contains substantial materials for different regions in Asia, it would also fit in nicely for courses on politics, diplomacy, environmental issues, and socio-economic subjects in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South and Central Asia. It would be the fundamental text for Freshman/Sophmore introductory classes and a supplemental resource for upper division courses in the social sciences."-- ER -
