Wen C. Fong established America's first program in East Asian art history at Princeton University, where he taught Chinese art from 1954 to 1999. During this time, he supervised more than thirty PhD students, most of whom have gone on to hold professorships or museum positions throughout the United States, East Asia, and Europe. This two-volume book honors Professor Fong's extraordinary half-century career at Princeton and the Metropolitan Museum of Art by gathering almost forty essays on Chinese, Japanese, and Korean art history, written by his students and by some of his lifelong colleagues in this field of study. These full-length essays address a wide range of subjects, building bridges in many directions, from early jades and bronzes through traditional painting and prints, to photography, cinema, and modern museum practice. The diversity, depth, and originality of these essays make this work a monumental contribution to the study of the arts of East Asia.

The book includes an interview of Professor Fong, conducted by Jerome Silbergeld, and a bibliography of Fong's work.

Here, for the first time, are both the day-to-day operations and the long-term objectives of key Washington organizations. Here are the names of hundreds of people who, though largely unknown to the public, take in and spend millions of dollars in campaign years to propel their chosen candidates to Congress or the White House. Big business, big labor, the medical lobby, John Gardner's Common Cause all are covered in depth. Political Brokers goes behind the facts to unmask the subtle pressures and patterns of influence which bear upon our elected officials. For the student of politics, the political activist, or simply a concerned citizen, Political Brokers is essential reading today."
