Dynasty, Revolution and Transformation

- Includes 32 pages of full-color photographs showcasing the beauty and wonder of China's long history, its land and peoples, and its rich cultural heritage.
- Author Jonathan Clements is an experienced China expert who has published many books on Chinese history and culture. He is also a TV presenter for the National Geographic Channel and has presented two seasons of Route Awakening as well as other cultural and historical programs.
