The historical dictionaries present essential information on a broad range of subjects, including American and world history, art, business, cities, countries, cultures, customs, film, global conflicts, international relations, literature, music, philosophy, religion, sports, and theater. Written by experts, all contain highly informative introductory essays on the topic and detailed chronologies that, in some cases, cover vast historical time periods but still manage to heavily feature more recent events.
Brief AZ entries describe the main people, events, politics, social issues, institutions, and policies that make the topic unique, and entries are cross-referenced for ease of browsing. Extensive bibliographies are divided into several general subject areas, providing excellent access points for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more. Additionally, maps, photographs, and appendixes of supplemental information aid high school and college students doing term papers or introductory research projects. In short, the historical dictionaries are the perfect starting point for anyone looking to research in these fields.

Malaysia consists of several distinct areas, not only geographically but ethnically; along with Malays and related groups, the country has very large Indian and Chinese populations. The spoken languages vary, although Bahasa Malaysia is the official language and nearly everyone speaks English. There is also a mixture of religions, with Islam predominating among the Malays, Hinduism and Sikhism among the Indians, and mainly Daoism and Confucianism among the Chinese. This is instant Asia, as the various groups have been far more successful in cooperating and getting along than any comparable mix anywhere else. Politically, Malaysia has also been a success since it boasts a lively democracy, which has been bumpier in recent years. Yet this is largely overshadowed by its economic triumph, with one successful governmental plan following another.
This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Malaysia addresses the long genesis of the country, which became increasingly convoluted after its independence about 60 years ago. The books chronology and introduction provide overviews, and the dictionary section contains details on numerous aspects of geography, language, religion, politics, and economics, as well as significant aspects of the culture and lifestyle and the role of notable figures. The bibliography is more than adequate to direct readers to further information on whatever aspects most interest them.
