About This Item
Stanford: Stanford U. P., 1997. reprint. Nice copy. octavo. softback with stiff wrappers xii + 474pp., b/w plates, text ills., maps, appends., reading list, index, ÔA work unique in the sweep of its design and scope, intended expressly for the general reader interested in human history and culture, this is a vivid panoramic survey of the vast course of Chinese civilisation from prehistory to 1850, when the old China began the agonising transition to the new. Historical surveys of China tend to be dynasty-by-dynasty chronicles with a profusion of names and dates and occasional cultural tidbits, or to concentrate on the period from earliest times to the Han dynasty (or the T'ang), giving only scant coverage to the last thousand yearsÕ
