商品簡介
This small volume (6x9") offers a readable overview for students, teachers, and business professionals. It starts with background on the land and its people, then covers the history of China from prehistory to the present. A final chapter looks at China today and the uniquely Chinese concepts that still guide people's lives, such as the concepts of harmony, face, and ancestral home. The book includes b&w photos and illustrations, side bars, and discussion questions, plus a comprehensive list of books, films, and international organizations. Two companion web sites offer Chinese proverbs and links to the Berkshire Encyclopedia of China (the source of much of the book's information), as well as links to other web sites addressing major contemporary issues in China. The book can be used as a supplement in courses on history, political science, and Chinese language. Yuan is affiliated with Western Kentucky University Libraries.
