Short History of the Chinese People Book
This scholarly and fascinating account of one of the oldest civilizations in the world was prepared by a great western specialist on China. Professor Goodrich gathered his material from a variety of original sources--including monographs in many languages, from medieval chronicles by European and Arab travelers, and from little-known books by Chinese specialists. Spanning the country's entire history, the survey begins with the prehistoric period, then discusses the major currents of Chinese history, philosophy, culture and politics--from the reigns of such dynastic rulers as the Shang, Chou, Ch'in and Han, to the era of Mongol conquests and the Tang, Sun, Yüan, Ming and Manchu dynasties, and culminating with the birth of the Chinese Republic in 1912. Ideal for studying Chinese culture in advanced high school courses and in college, this compact book includes excellent maps, a profusion of illustrations depicting contemporary artifacts, a chronological table, and a supplementary list of readings. Unabridged republication of the edition published by Harper & Row, Publishers, Inc., New York, 1943. 17 maps. 24 illustrations.Read More
