Description: China is the world's oldest continuous civilization and one of the great international powers of today. A sharply focused understanding of its past is essential for making sense of its complex present, and archaic China is visible now with a clarity that would hardly have been thinkable a lifetime ago. The purpose of this atlas - now revised to encompass fundamental changes in the country since 1983 - is to make this fascinating, much-mythologized country accessible to the general reader.
