A significant aspect of this work is the emphasis on source materials, including some translated from Mongolian and other languages for the first time. The source materials and other articles are all fully contextualized and situated by introductory material by the volume's editors. This is the first work in English to bring together significant articles in Mongolian studies in one place, which will be widely welcomed by scholars and researchers in this field. This essential reference in two volumes includes works by noted scholars including Charles Bawden, Igor de Rachewiltz, David Morgan, Owen Lattimore and Caroline Humphrey. It also includes excerpts from translations of source documents, such as the works of Rashid al-Din, "The Secret History of the Mongols" and the "Yuan Shih". In addition, more recent historical periods are covered, with material such as Batmonh's speech that heralded Mongolia's versions of glasnost and perestroika, as well as Baabar's Buu Mart, a key work associated with the Democratic Revolution of 1990.
