Review:

Any academic program with a concern for Bangladesh will find this edition worthwhile. Recommended. (Choice)

Reference tools dealing with this poor, overpopulated South Asian country are few in number, so this new edition of a standard work is most welcome....This sturdily bound title is recommended for all academic and large public libraries, and those institutions serving populations with ties to that area.
