Designed for the East Asian history course, this text features the latest scholarship on the region's cultural, political, economic, and intellectual history. Coverage is balanced among East Asian countries, with approximately 20 percent of the text focused on Korea, an area that has become increasingly important in world politics. Special attention is devoted to gender and material culture, and themes are reinforced through the text's pedagogical features. Full color inserts on topics such as food, clothing, and art objects illustrate the rich artistic heritage of East Asia and bolster the coverage of material culture. Features include a range of primary source documents on topics such as women's independence and students-turned-soldiers, and biographical sketches throughout the text highlight the lives of popular figures and ordinary people. "Connections" features provide an international context for the history of East Asia, including topics such the origin and spread of Buddhism and a global perspective of World War II. Available in the following split options: EAST ASIA: A CULTURAL, SOCIAL, AND POLITICAL HISTORY (Chapters 1-30), ISBN: 0547005342; PRE-MODERN EAST ASIA: To 1800 (Chapters 1-17), ISBN: 0547005393; MODERN EAST ASIA: From 1600 (Chapters 16-30), ISBN: 0547005369.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Inexcusably sub-par,

This review is from: East Asia: A Cultural, Social, and Political History, Volume II: From 1600 (Paperback)
This is a textbook for a class I'm taking. The writing is very poorly done. Not just badly organized chapters; I'm talking individual sentences and paragraphs here. There is no narrative flow, and information is out of order, making learning a tedious exercise. The professor says a number of students have complained of the same thing, and he only ordered the text because it was required by the department. "Go by your notes," was the solution offered to me.
Excellent scholarship is no guarantee of good writing, apparently.
