First Published in 1979. This title is intended as a guide to personalities, events, ideas and institutions in China from earliest times right up to the present day. The dictionary should be particularly useful to anyone interested in Chinese history for its own sake, or in contemporary China, where today's events are so often seen in terms of the past. It should also help anyone interested in comparing the experience of China with European or American history.
