The Cambridge History of Ancient China -
Another excellent installment of the Cabmbridge History Series, this hefty (1180 pages) tome seems excessively pricey until you compare it with other college-level history textbooks. Given its scope and unquestioned scholarship, the book is a bargain. If you don't need the level of detail available here, you might prefer the Cambridge Illustrated Histories, which are abridged but not "dumbed down." Unfortunately, the China volume is currently out of print, although you may be able to find a used copy. | ||||||
