The Sextants of Beijing: Global Currents in Chinese History Waley-Cohen JoannaPaperback
This powerful work puts to rest the long-held myth that Chinese civilization is monolithic, unchanging, and perennially cut off from the rest of the world. Whether in trade, religious belief, ideology, or technology, China has long taken part in fruitful exchange with other cultures. An inviting history of China from the days of the ancient Silk Road to the present, this book describes a civilization more open and engaged with the rest of the world than we think.
With implications for our understanding of and our policies toward China, this is a must read.Táto výkonná práca stavia k odpo
