Imperial China, 1350-1900

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This clear book provides an overview of Ming-Qing China (1368-1912), its last imperial age. As the climax of the traditional era and the harbinger of modern China, Porter argues that imperial China must be explored for its own sake as well as for the insights it provides in understanding contemporary China, and indeed world history writ large.
