Chronicling the highlights of Asian and Pacific history from earliest times to 1997, this general reference contains several thousand entries ranging in length from one line to a paragraph. Up to 1900, entries are simply presented chronologically by year; 20th-century entries are subdivided into seven categories: politics, government, and law; war; religion, education, and scholarship; arts and entertainment; literature and journalism; science, technology, and medicine; and economic and social life. Some entries are starred to indicate their importance. There is no bibliography. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
