Minor bumping to top tips. 104 pp. Includes 26 full-color and 29 black-and-white images, and a map. From the back panel: "'Images of Asia' offers a range of titles covering aspects of life and culture in East Asia. Each book in the series combines an introductory text, written for the non-specialist reader by an authority on the subject, with extensive illustrations both in colour and black-and-white." This volume covers the long-standing and widespread tradition of betel chewing in South-East Asia, discussing not only the tradition itself, but also the variety of accessories that have been produced on account of its popularity, such as receptacles, mortars, trays, and much more.
