Rezensionen

'For those of us involved in teaching postgraduate students where resources are limited, this is an ideal book to have at hand. The topics are varied and presented in such a way as to stimulate discussion in a very thought provoking way. I teach postgraduate courses in Thailand, Vietnam and China and this book will be 'a must' on my reading list.' - Professor Joseph Foley, Assumption University
