Review
For anyone who is interested in finding out more about Chinese culture and history, this is an ideal place to start. With subjects varying from the topography and history of the country to its complex belief systems, and encompassing philosophy and science, Confucius and the Great Wall, this heavyweight book provides a great overview of a culture which, in Western minds, is one of the most mysterious of all. Illuminating, authoritative texts and beautiful drawings and photographs make this one of the best general guides to Chinese culture and history around.
