This review is from: Heritage of China: Contemporary Perspectives on Chinese Civilization (Paperback)
this book compared to others is more difficult to read during certain chapters. you kind of dread to read more haha. but sometimes it isnt that bad. there is a lot of good information in here that i used for my papers. i would also recommend mountain of fame by john E wills jr.
