Nepal and Bangladesh: A Global Studies Handbook (Global Studies: Asia Series) FROM THE PUBLISHER
This authoritative, thorough volume covers a broad scope of topics from history to culture to current struggles in these fascinating countries.
SYNOPSIS
Nepal-native Shrestha (resource and cultural management, Florida A&M U.) admits that it would have been better to write a separate volume on each country, but finds that one provides him enough space to provide a sound topical coverage of both without comprising the integrity of their individual stories born out of their collective experience and perspectives. For each in turn he describes geography, history, economy, institutions, society and contemporary issues; and lists reference materials. Annotation c. Book News, Inc.,Portland, OR
