What reading level is Asia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Elephants are heavy enough for timber work at eighteen years, and are at their prime TEAK-CUTTING 195 from thirty to sixty. Tuskers are of use for manoeuvring the logs in the shallow streams and getting them off shoals.
The logs are not launched into the main stream or river until the last freshets of the season have gone down, for fear of the timber becoming unmanageable. The logs are allowed to drift singly as far as the deep water, where they are stopped by a boom, for sorting and rafting to... port. On the Irawadi and Sittang the main water- course is available for rafting, but on the Salwin only the last 60 miles below the rapids. The Salwin tears its rugged course through the limestone mountains which occupy the centre of the eastern peninsula, tapping teak localities on a good part of its way. Deep tranquil stretches alternate with furious rapids, the violence of which may be judged from the fact that teak logs are often shivered to splinters. The foresters have to bide their time till the logs reach the rope-station or boom and can be sorted.
