The Czech Republic

All aspects of the country are covered in selective, critical annotations of mostly English-language publications. In this revised edition, coverage of the Slovak half of the former Czechoslovakia is kept to a minimum. Most entries are new, as so much has been published on Czech affairs since 1989. Edmondson is an associate of the Institute of Linguists and a fellow of the Library Association. Short is senior lecturer in Czech at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University of London, UK. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
