## Description

The Cambridge Illustrated History of China is an illuminating account of the full sweep of Chinese civilisation – from prehistoric times to the intellectual ferment of the Warring States Period, through the rise and fall of the imperial dynasties, to the modern communist state. Written by a leading scholar and lavishly illustrated, its narrative draws together everything from the influence of key intellectual figures, to political innovations, art and material culture, family and religious life, not to mention wars and modern conflicts. This third revised edition includes new archaeological discoveries and gives fuller treatment of environmental history and Chinese interaction with the wider world, placing China in global context. The Qing dynasty is now covered in two chapters, while the final chapter brings the story into the twenty-first century, covering the transformation of China into one of the world's leading economies and the challenges it faces. Lively and highly visual, this book will be appreciated by anyone interested in Chinese history.

Review: Big Bang for Your Book - I needed this book for a class, but it's probably one I'll actually keep. It's well written, has useful illustrations, and the brand-new cost is three times less than I've spent on similar books of inferior quality. If you are interested in Chinese history, this is probably a good place to start.
Review: Comprehensive but not overwhelming - To read a scholarly work on 5,000 years of China’s history can seem daunting but Prof Buckley makes the material approachable and understandable. This updated edition adds more information on China in the 21st Century and breaks the Qin Dynasty chapter in two. This is a great tool for readers wanting a comprehensive introductory lesson on China’s history from a respected scholar.

See my review of her equally smashing book of Northern Song Emperor Huizong in her "Accumulating Culture".
