520    "Taking into account the dramatic changes the country has 
       seen in the past two years--including the establishment of
       a human rights commission, the release of political 
       prisoners, and reforms in health and education--David I. 
       Steinberg offers an updated second edition of Burma/
       Myanmar: What Everyone Needs to Know. More than ever, the 
       history, culture, and internal politics of this country 
       are crucial to understanding the breaking headlines 
       emerging from it today and placing them in a broader 
       context. Geographically strategic, Burma/Myanmar lies 
       between the growing powers of China and India, and has a 
       thousand-year history as an important realm in the region-
       -yet it is mostly unknown to Westerners. Burma/Myanmar is 
       a place of contradictions: a picturesque land with 
       mountain jungles and monsoon plains, it is one of the 
       world's largest producers of heroin. Though it has 
       extensive natural resources including oil, gas, teak, 
       metals, and minerals, it is one of the poorest countries 
       in the world. And despite a half-century of military-
       dominated rule, change is beginning to work its way 
       through the beleaguered nation, as it moves to a more 
       pluralistic administrative system reflecting its 
       pluralistic cultural, multi-ethnic base"--Provided by
