Reviews
The overall structure of the third edition of this well-received dictionary remains the same. It still features an A-Z format with useful cross-references. Along with these entries comes a valuable, thorough introductory essay that gives an overview of the history of the nation. There remains a detailed chronology, particularly for the 21st century. There is also an extensive bibliography, separated into different sections, such as the arts or the economy. It is clear Abdullaev sought to update this work across all sections. The appendixes were expanded and provide more information than previous editions. Both the bibliography and the chronology have new material. There are additional entries on culture and society and on earlier periods of Tajikistan history. . . . This source is recommended, particularly for scholars and libraries that focus on the Central Asian region. Recommended. * CHOICE *
