{"product_id":"modern-china-continuity-and-change-1644-to-the-present","title":"Modern China: Continuity and Change, 1644 to the Present","description":"Now in a fully updated edition, this accessible text provides a balanced history of modern China in a global context. Through years of living and research in China, Taiwan, Japan, and Russia, the authors are deeply qualified to understand China’s internal dynamics as well as its foreign relations over centuries. Arguing that modern Chinese history cannot be understood without a deep appreciation of the outside factors that have influenced the country, the authors focus on China’s near neighbors, especially Japan and Russia. They also emphasize the tragic role of almost endless warfare throughout Chinese history. Providing a unique comparative approach, the authors bridge the cultural divide separating Chinese history from Western readers trying to understand it. Specifically geared to the teaching requirements of the semester system, the book is divided into four parts and a total of twenty-eight chapters, corresponding either to two chapters per week in a fourteen-week semester or one chapter per week in a two-semester course.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1538103869\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1538103869.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Elleman, Bruce A.|Paine, S.
