About the Author
The first edition of this dictionary, which is part of the 'Historical Dictionaries of Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East' series edited by Jon Woronoff, was published in 1993, and as vast changes have taken place in Taiwan since then, it is laudable that Profes-sor Copper updates this book regularly. . . .[T]his book contains an impressive amount of highly helpful information, and since it is also well written, it makes interesting and enjoyable reading for anyone interested in Taiwan. It is especially recommendable for students, journalists, and researchers. . . .[A] very useful dictionary.
