A History of Asia is the only textbook to provide a historical
overview of the whole of this region, encompassing India, China,
Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia. Engaging and lively, it
chronicles the complex political, social, and intellectual
histories of the area from prehistory to the present day. Taking a
comparative approach throughout, the book offers a balanced history
of each major tradition, also dedicating coverage to countries or
regions such as Vietnam and Central Asia that are less frequently
discussed in depth. This eighth edition has been streamlined and
updated to reflect the most recent scholarship on Asian history,
bringing the book up to date with recent events and key trends in
historical research. Highlights of the book include close-up
portraits of significant Asian cities, detailed discussion of
environmental factors that have shaped Asian history, quotes from
Asian poetry and philosophical writing, and attention to questions
of gender and national identity. Highly illustrated with images and
maps, each chapter also contains discussion questions, primary
source excerpts, and in-depth boxed features. Written clearly
throughout, A History of Asia is the perfect introductory textbook
for all students of the history, culture, and politics of this
fascinating region.
