Description: Co-published with the Asia program of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
Review Quotes: Frank Shulman's present publication, a comprehensive and annotated bibliography of some 700 doctoral dissertations on Burma, maintains his reputation as the leading authority on bibliographical control of dissertations on Asia. In addition to its valuable annotations, this bibliography contains features such as content notes, references to published sources if appropriate, and tables providing information on the number of dissertations completed by country from 1898 to 1985 and by institutions and academic fields. This bibliography truly fulfills its purpose not only by identifying and describing the dissertations, but by providing information on how to obtain them....--Shiro Saito, University of Hawaii Library, Asia Collection "American Reference Books Annual "
