I ordered this book for my Chinese History class. Its very well organized and easy to work though. Sometimes it's a little bit hard to understand, but with proper context and close reading its a good resource. I read the text alongside class lectures, as well as reading chapters in a second book, so it all fits together to create a well-rounded understanding of the material.
This book has good information about ancient Chinese civilization with lots of primary sources included. It is very helpful and interesting.
This is an excellent resource book on Chinese cultural history. It's a treasure. However, I don't know how students are expected to absorb its rich contents in one semester!
It's some very nice translations of original Chinese texts with good intros to set the stage and give some background of what you're about to read. And each text is properly referenced so one can understand context better. A really quite fascinating look and Chinese history and culture though the ages in, more or less, their own words.
