(*American Reference Books Annual*) Any student of the Mongol Empire will find access to the *Dictionary* extremely convenient; but the introductory material makes the book essential reading....Buell should be thanked for performing a service to all who are interested, at whatever level of specialization, in the Mongol Empire, that extraordinary, fascinating, and still little-known historical phenomenon. (*The International History Review*) This is a major work of reference for students of what was unquestionably the largest contiguous land-based empire in history....The introductory essays...are extremely valuable....a first rate overview of Mongol imperial history...an admirable book which will be valued for many years to come... (Peter Jackson, Keele University *Journal of Asian Studies*) Here is a very useful introduction to the Mongol empire....this is a fine and solid tool for those seeking to find out about the Mongol world empire. (*Mongolian Studies*) Recommended. (*CHOICE*) ### About the Author **Paul D.
