With great care and judicious inclusion of noteworthy material,
Gunde has provided a one-stop reference on the contributions of the
Chinese and their way of life. In one volume, the essence of
China--past and present--is brilliantly captured. The extensive
coverage includes chapters on the land, history, and people;
thought and religion; literature and art; music and dance; food and
clothing; architecture and housing; family and gender; and holidays
and leisure activities. The volume is further enhanced by a
chronology, guide to pronunciation, glossary, suggested readings,
numerous photos, and volume map.
China is ever-important on the global stage as the world's
second-largest and most populous country. Up-to-date and written
with warmth, eloquence, and authority, "Culture and Customs of
China" will be a popular source for students and the interested
reader seeking to understand the modern people and culture in the
context of an ancient history.
