xx 166 pages, indexed, includes loose insert errata slip. Name misprinted as Falyey on front cover. Inscribed by Lindsay Falvey. "Understanding Southeast Asia points to the wisdom of seeking common factors that unite regional worldviews. This fresh and possibly more Asian perspective complements other Western-style empirical analyses that rely on differences to explain traits of the region and its peoples. In various ways, this book provides a context for scholarly works on specific places, technological studies and the nation-building stories of the new countries that make up the region" (back cover) "The book includes summaries in Indonesian, Malay, Burmese, Tagalog, Khmer, Lao, Thai, Vietnamese, and Chinese."
