Thailand's dramatic history includes its emergence as a prosperous Buddhist state, its transformation from a kingdom to a constitutional monarchy and its rise to prominence in Southeast Asian affairs. [...] With this book, historian Richard A. Ruth has skillfully crafted an accessible history that explains how Thailand became the only country in Southeast Asia to resist European domination, how Thai Buddhism has wrought profound political and social changes, how Thai cuisine has conquered the world -- and more recently, how the consequences of globalization and military rule continue to reshape Thai society" -- Back cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 959.3 Ru Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 959.3 Ru Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 959.3 Ru Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 959.3 Ru Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 959.3 Ru Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 959.3 Ru Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 959.3 Ru Checked In Add Copy to MyList
