I received the book some days ago. I hav read some of the chapters till this
date. Really this book has fantastic information for the boundaries research
family. I liked the chapters- Maps as Evidence of Territorial Frontiers and
the item 11. Asia. This is much useful for my further study.

Subject: [INT-BOUNDARIES] International Frontiers and Boundaries
> Dear Colleagues,
>
> Please allow me to draw your attention to a freshly published book which I
> suspect will be of great interest to many list members:
>
> International Frontiers and Boundaries: Law, Politics and Geography by
> Victor Prescott and Gillian D. Triggs.
>
> As Victor is a stalwart contributor to this list and known to many of you
> I feel that highlighting this major new contribution to the literature is
> not inappropriate.
>
> I would emphasise 'new' here because it is my understantding that this is
> not simply an update or revision of 1987's "Political Frontiers and
> Boundaries", but a wholly fresh text designed as the counterpart to "The
> Maritime Political Boundaries of the World" published in 2005.
>
> Whilst I confess that I haven't yet received my copy (on order!) and thus
> am not in a position to offer an instant review, I am looking forward to
> reading it. The book adopts a three part structure: part one dealing with
> boundaries systematically, the second addressing international law aspects
> and the final part providing a region-by-region analysis. The book extends
> to 505 pages and includes 77 maps and figures. Further publication details
> can be found on the Martinus Nijhoff website at:
