The Cambridge Illustrated History of China is an illuminating
account of the full sweep of Chinese civilisation - from
prehistoric times to the intellectual ferment of the Warring States
Period, through the rise and fall of the imperial dynasties, to the
modern communist state. Written by a leading scholar and lavishly
illustrated, its narrative draws together everything from the
influence of key intellectual figures, to political innovations,
art and material culture, family and religious life, not to mention
wars and modern conflicts. This third revised edition includes new
archaeological discoveries and gives fuller treatment of
environmental history and Chinese interaction with the wider world,
placing China in global context. The Qing dynasty is now covered in
two chapters, while the final chapter brings the story into the
twenty-first century, covering the transformation of China into one
of the world's leading economies and the challenges it faces.
Lively and highly visual, this book will be appreciated by anyone
interested in Chinese history.
