New H.W. Wilson Volume Looks at
the Two Koreas
Latest Reference Shelf Title Explores History,
Foreign Relations, Domestic Issues, and More
New York, New York, July 13th, 2004
 H.W. Wilson today announced
The
Two Koreas, .an in-depth exploration of the enigma
that is the Korean peninsula. The
Two Koreas, new in Wilson's Reference Shelf book series,
looks at North and South Korea: their history, their foreign
relations and policies, their relations toward one another, their
respective economies, and leadership.
From the controversial U.S. military presence in South Korea and the
"generation gap" in attitudes toward that presence, to health and
education issues the nations face, to the questions surrounding
North Korea's nuclear capabilities, this is a wide-ranging look at
two nations whose economies, foreign policy, and interrelations now
hold global implications.
The Two Koreas is the
third of six books in The Reference Shelf 2004 series. Two others in
the series, Homeland Security
and U.S. National Debate Topic
2004-2005: The United Nations, were published earlier in
2004. Three others are forthcoming: The U.S. Election System,
The Car and Its Future,
and Representative American
Speeches 2003-2004. Libraries that order the complete
6-volume set receive a substantial discount.
Each book in The
Reference Shelf series offers extensive exploration of a current
topic of importance in modern society, in a compilation of notable
articles from respected publications, plus abstracts of 20 to 30
additional articles and a bibliography of other sources. Reference
Shelf volumes provide a well-rounded, non-biased overview for
researchers and general readers. The Reference Shelf 2003 included
The American Family,
Intellectual Property,
The Muslim World, Urban Planning, Warfare in the 21st Century,
and Representative American
Speeches 2002-2003.
