Book Reviews of Chinese Civilization: A Sourcebook, 2nd Ed
Book Review: Very interesting & useful
Summary: 5 Stars
This work is a great introduction to Chinese civilization and helps the reader to get into the Chinese mind and mentallity. Great if you want an overview but the timespan it covers is so huge that it can not deal with any one time in too much detail.
I found Chinese Sketches: Life in 19th Century China very useful for 19th century China as it is a first-hand account.
Summary of Chinese Civilization: A Sourcebook, 2nd Ed
The standard for supplementary texts in Chinese history courses. Now newly expanded with more material. Presents personal documents, social records, laws and documents that historians often ignore. Even more useful than its now classic predecessor.China Books
