China: Its History And Culture (4Th Edition): Its History & Cult 4 (EDUCATION/ALL OTHER) - Softcover
This work presents a concise and thorough history of one of the world's most powerful nations. This brilliantly lucid and concise study traces China's history and culture from Neolithic times to the present, working into an integrated and authoritative narrative that covers centuries of politics, warfare and government, science and technology, economics and commerce, religion, philosophy, and the arts. Most valuable of all, Dr. Morton illuminates the essential Chinese design, the underlying mental set of the people and the society. He has given approximately equal treatment to all premodern periods, as each has its importance in the evolving history of the Chinese experience, and has illustrated the work with numerous photographs, maps, paintings and drawings and quotations from the literature.Newly updated and revised, "China: Its History and Culture, Fourth Edition", also carefully examines the crucial social and economic changes that have taken place in China over the last decade. 'A wonderful job! So lucid, beautifully written, with great range and insight. This will set a new standard for short general histories of China' - Michael Gasster, professor emeritus of history at Rutgers University. 'Simple, concise, factual, and yet comprehensive, penetrating and readable' - Wing-Tsit Chan, Professor of Chinese Philosophy and Culture Emeritus, Dartmouth College.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This is a revision of the long-successful, short, illustrated cultural history of China, from its beginnings to the present day, first published in 1980 and continuously in use over several editions in colleges and universities nationwide. A brilliant and concise study, it traces China's history and culture from Neolithic times to the present. Elements of the culture, in thought, art, and the life of society, are woven into the historical narrative, as the author illuminates the essential Chinese design, the underlying mental set of the people and the society. The book is designed as a straightforward, detail-rich portrait of a nation not well understood in the West. The position of China on the international scene has changed markedly since the current edition was published in 1995: over recent years dramatic alterations have taken place with the beginning of private as opposed to state production; an enormous increase in private production and global sales has been seen. These years have also been the occasion of China's integration into the world financial system. There has been a serious reconsideration of China-US relations in both their commercial and military aspects.The book is distinctive in its incorporation of cultural elements, at their high point, into the unfolding story of the political events. Rather than just following the political and military course of history, treating them separately from the cultural side, Morton presents an integrated view, showing the parallel development of cultural and political events, as well as their influence on each other. Traces China's history and culture from Neolithic times onwards and covers centuries of politics, warfare and government, science and technology, economics and commerce, religion, philosophy, and the arts. This work illuminates the useful Chinese design, the underlying mental set of the people and the society.
