More populous than any other country on earth, China also
occupies a unique place in our modern world for the continuity of
its history and culture. In this sumptuously illustrated
single-volume history, now in its second edition, noted historian
Patricia Buckley Ebrey traces the origins of Chinese culture from
prehistoric times to the present. She follows its development from
the rise of Confucianism, Buddhism, and the great imperial
dynasties to the Mongol, Manchu, and Western intrusions and the
modern communist state. Her scope is phenomenal - embracing Chinese
arts, culture, economics, society and its treatment of women,
foreign policy, emigration, and politics, including the key
uprisings of 1919 and 1989 in Tiananmen Square. Both a
comprehensive introduction to an extraordinary civilization and an
expert exploration of the continuities and disjunctures of Chinese
history, Professor Ebrey''s book has become an indispensable guide
to China past and present. This second edition includes a new
chapter on China''s recent opening to the world and a fully revised
guide to further reading.
