for Central Asian Studies

Set #1, 2^nd Edition

Revised July 2002

Introductory Notes: 1) 'Set #1' provides an essential library for CA studies, with a large cross-section of resources. It is given in alpabetical order. Most works are from more recent scholarship, i.e. 1980s onward, with a few select older or 'classic' studies included. The bibliographies contained in these works of recent scholarship will provide sufficient reference to earlier works for research purposes. 2) This series of bibliographies does not contain journal articles or other items which are not typically for purchase and/or independent housing in a library. They do, however, contain particular journal volumes if/when an entire volume is dedicated (sufficiently) to Central Asia and worthy of purchase for the library (e.g. Coakley... Bulletin of John Rylands Library, 78, listed below). Note also that a number of the books are themselves compilations of papers or articles. Likewise, references to important papers and articles should be contained in the bibliographies of the works included. Selected lists of various journal articles and papers (with recommendations for compliling 'readers' on particular topics) will be provided in subsequent lists if time permits. 3) 'Set #1' includes only English language works. Foreign language works will be recommedned in subsequent 'sets'.
