This book examines how the Ming state transformed the multi-ethnic
society of Yunnan into a province. Yunnan had remained outside the
ambit of central government when ruled by the Dali kingdom,
937-1253, and its foundation as a province by the Yuan regime in
1276 did not disrupt Dali kingdom style political, social and
religious institutions. It was the Ming state in the fourteenth to
seventeenth centuries through its institutions for military and
civilian control which brought about profound changes and truly
transformed local society into a province. In contrast to other
studies which have portrayed Yunnan as a non-Han frontier region
waiting to be colonised, this book, by focusing on changes in local
society, casts off the idea of Yunnan as a border area far from
civilisation.

Volume VI Part 3 of Science and Civilisation in China contains two separate works. The first, by Christian Daniels, is a comprehensive history of Chinese sugarcane technology from ancient times to the early twentieth century. Dr. Daniels includes an account of the contribution of Chinese techniques and machinery to the development of world sugar technology in the premodern period, devoting special attention to the transfer of this technology to the countries of Southeast and East Asia in the period after the sixteenth century. The second, by Nicholas K. Menzies, is a history of forestry in China. Dr. Menzies identifies a tradition of forest management that can be traced to the earliest Chinese written records, and describes methods of silviculture, and the major timber species used in Chinese forestry. A final section compares China's history of deforestation with the cases of Europe and Japan. Each of these works will interest scholars of Chinese science, culture, and ancient agriculture as well as historians of science.
After three of his friends discover secrets that endanger the
Church and are killed, Theo Brunet embarks on an investigative
journey that takes him to ancient cities, the secret archives of
the Vatican, and leads him into clashes with the looming power of
the government and the Secret Police.
