A word of caution, folks. While many of the articles in it are good,
several are...less than what one might expect from a collection bearing the
Oxford name. Paul Buell says that the section on Mongolian food is highly
inaccurate, and that to be very careful of any bearing Alan Davidson's name.
His scholarship tends to be...less than outstanding. Please use your
educated judgement when reading it.
