Subject Week: “Understanding Asia”

Check out our book collection on the topic this week: “Understanding Asia”.

Asia is the world’s largest and most diverse continent.  It occupies the eastern four-fifths of the giant Eurasian landmass. Asia is more a geographic term than a homogeneous continent, and the use of the term to describe such a vast area always carries the potential of obscuring the enormous diversity among the regions it encompasses. Encyclopædia Britannica.
