China condensed: 5000 years of history & culture

---

The largest country on earth. A civilization that stretches back five millennia. Once the most powerful nation in the world. The land where gunpowder, the magnetic compass and the abacus were invented. China is all of these things—and more.

China condensed: 5000 Years of History & Culture is a book for anyone who needs a quick introduction to China. History, philosophy, religion, language, literature, arts and culture are all discussed in this lively and accessible text. More than a dry recitation of dates, names and events, the topics covered in this book range from the mythical beginnings of the country, stories and legends to more current facts and observations. Five thousand years history, culture and civilization are distilled into one handy book for ease of reference.
