Very good in very good dust jacket. dust jacket is age-toned along spine and edges small tears along dust jacket edges. 148 p. Includes illustrations. . "Published in 1956 as publicity material for the new engineering projects depicted this book was also sold abroad through the China International Bookstore. The design of the book s cover printed in green with repeating stylized waves stands in stark contrast to the rather austere predominantly black-and-white photographs inside featuring dams and navigation locks sluice gates and river dredging operations. The term 'water conservancy' is popularly understood to mean not wasting water but the focus of this book is more in line with China s perennial water issue: how to control water. A country both rich in water resources and subject to frequent floods and droughts China has always prioritized development of large-scale water management infrastructure."

126 pages. "Recounts the step-by-step infiltration of Communism in China until the time was ripe for the final take-over by force. A story not of a benign agrarian revolution but of the unfolding of a ruthless plot strikingly similar to the Red conquest of other lands that have gone behind the Iron Curtain. The author writes with a sense of urgency in the belief that complacency and lack of wide-spread appreciation as to Communist technique are still handicapping the West in meeting the threat of International Communism both at home and abroad." - from front flap.

8vo, br. ed. 208. Mao: The Unknown Story by Jung Chang and Jon Halliday was published in 2005 to a great fanfare. The book portrays Mao as a monster – equal to or worse than Hitler and Stalin – and a fool who won power by native cunning and ruled by terror. It received a rapturous welcome from reviewers in the popular press and rocketed to the top of the worldwide bestseller list. Few works on China by writers in the West have achieved its impact. Reviews by serious China scholars, however, tended to take a different view. Most were sharply critical, questioning its authority and the authors’ methods , arguing that Chang and Halliday’s book is not a work of balanced scholarship, as it purports to be, but a highly selective and even polemical study that sets out to demonise Mao. This book brings together sixteen reviews of Mao: The Unknown Story – all by internationally well-regarded specialists in modern Chinese history, and published in relatively specialised scholarly journals. Taken together they demonstrate that Chang and Halliday’s portrayal of Mao is in many places woefully inaccurate. While agreeing that Mao had many faults and was responsible for some disastrous policies, they conclude that a more balanced picture is needed.

However any volume in this series is exceptionally rare as we have not been able to find another copy in sales records of the past 100 years.The Chinese Revolution of 1911 is an important event in Chinese history as it resulted in the establishment of the Republic of China. The Revolution was preceded by decade of revolts since Chinese citizens had already been dissatisfied with the rule of the Qing dynasty 1636-1912 for some time. The Revolution started in October 1911 with the Wuchang Uprising after which similar revolts broke out across the country. The Qing court then initiated negotiations with the revolutionaries. Both parties came to the agreement that the emperor who was just 6-years old had to abdicate in February 1912. Revolutionary statesman Sun Yat-Sen 1866-1925 became the first provisional president.The present work offers an authentic pictorial record of the first revolts. The work contains numerous portraits of important leaders of the Revolution and members of the Qing court grim photographic illustrations of the battlefields in Wuchang now the Wuchang District of Wuhan and Hankow or Hankou and images of the attack on Nanking now Nanjing including the preparations and the aftermath.The binding shows very slight signs of wear the gutters of the front and back endpapers are weakened causing the binding to be wobbly but the boards are still attached.

Printed colour map on a single newspaper leaf 53 x 40.7 cm; 59.8 x 45 cm sheet inset text box marginal browning and at the folds but remarkably bright in very good condition. WWII map of China showing most of China Indo-China Thailand and Korea with territory captured and controlled by Japan shaded in orange and red published by the Chicago Daily Tribune barely six weeks after the bombing of Pearl Harbour. The text on the map reads "Since 1937 China has been at war with Japan. Lacking many essentials of war the Chinese nevertheless have managed to maintain a front against the aggressors. China's principal life line is the Burma road shown on the map which starts at Lashio Burma and extends to Kunming Yunnan province where it links with connections to Chunking the present Chinese capital". <br> <br>Based on a Rand McNally map the Tribune briskly got to work issuing maps for readers showing the beginnings of the war with Japan. Later maps were also published for sale separately but remarkably few have survived. <br>"… the historic Chicago Tribune was an innovator in color inks and printing but also a pioneer in bringing colorful art in the form of illustrations photographs cartoons and advertisements to the average person in an everyday medium." see The Janet A.

8vo, br. ed. 310pp. 'Victoria Hui is perhaps the only person in the international relations field capable of writing such a sophisticated comparative history of the Chinese and European state systems. This book is pioneering in its efforts to 'bring Asia in' to the study of macro-historical change in world politics. She demonstrates expert command of Chinese and European sources, international relations theory, and social science research design. The result is a provocative argument about the importance of strategic amorality, ruthlessness, and resource mobilization in state building, and about why ancient Chinese states outperformed European states in these areas.' Alastair Iain Johnston, Harvard University 'Victoria Hui has successfully executed a stunningly bold macro-historical comparison, while bringing to light the workings of a fascinating international system. Scholarship on state making and system transformation in ancient China and modern Europe – and, indeed, in other international systems, past, present, and future – must contend with her arguments and evidence.' William Wohlforth, Dartmouth College 'Dr Hui offers us a challenging reinterpretation of modern European history by a bold and original comparison with the period of state formation in China. In doing so, she challenges some dominant theories both in the theory of state formation and in international relations theory. The boldness of the method will provoke controversy, but nothing could be more valuable, for both historians and political scientists, than to understand European history in comparative perspective. This unusual work will be of great interest, not only to students and scholars of European and Chinese history, but also to those concerned with understanding contemporary global politics.' Michael Freeman, University of Essex 'It is rare to encounter an analysis as attentive to detail and method, yet broad in the scope of its implications as that by Victoria Tin-Bor Hui. … it invites its readers to pursue further the ideas discussed on its pages.' Political Studies Review Descrizione del libro This book, first published in 2005, explores why China and Europe's development of state systems began similarly but experienced opposite outcomes.
