See full description
  • This book presents a concise account of 5,000 years of Chinese history from its early prehistory up to the present day--written in an accessible style for a popular, non-academic readership.
  • 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.
  • All other single-volume histories of China are old and very academic in tone; yet are selling well (see comps below).
  • This book is distinct for its equal coverage of women in Chinese history, as well as themes such as diversity and climate change
  • Huge numbers of English speakers visit China every year to learn about China's culture and history. There is no other single-volume non-academic history for them to read.
  • Most high schools and colleges offer courses in Chinese history and are in need of study materials.
  • Jonathan Clements has authored 40 books, many of which have been translated into multiple languages
