PiA Booklist
The following is a booklist compiled for our outgoing fellows about to head into the field. Asia is a complex entity that is seemingly in a state of flux. Some of our fellows have studied it for years. Some are completely new to the area. Regardless of background, we hope this list contains many valuable resources that will continue to educate, pique curiosity, and guide travels amongst everyone. We in the PiA office invite all fellows, alumni, and family members to explore this list and to add to it; it is by no means exhaustive. Feel free to send us your thoughts and reviews. Happy reading…
