Adrift In China [Secure eReader]
by Simon Myers
|

Time is needed for such a big and complex country, and time is something... more info>> (Published: 2004)

Alive and Well in Pakistan: A Human Journey in a Dangerous Time [Secure eReader]
by Ethan Casey
|
|
How wide is the gulf in understanding between the West and the Muslim world? How real is the risk of nuclear war on the subcontinent? What will be the long term effects of the Afghan Wars?
