1.The Cambridge Illustrated History of China (Cambridge Illustrated Histories)The Cambridge Illustrated History of China (Cambridge Illustrated Histories)
from Cambridge University Press
Price: $33.29

Customer Review:
Easy to read, this book accomplished what I was looking for: a complete high-level view of chinese history.
The few things I would have like to be a bit different:
- More maps, there are quite a few of them, but more would have helped
- Less on art, I did not care about history of... more info

2.China: A New History, Second Enlarged EditionChina: A New History, Second Enlarged Edition
from Belknap Press
Price: $20.25

Customer Review:
I bought this book because I was misled by the information displayed on Amazon's web site. This edition in its paperback form actually runs to 560 pages only, not to 640 pages as the "product details" claims. I was led to believe that this 2006 2nd enlarged edition was a major expansion over its... more info

from McGraw-Hill
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:
I agree with another reviewer that China is too big, old and complex for a short book. However, I am not looking for a Ph.D. thesis - I simply want an introduction.
This book does a great job, taking you back in time through a fascinating political and cultural tour of China. Definitely a good... more info

4.Medicine in China: A History of Ideas (Comparative Studies of Health Systems and Medical Care)Medicine in China: A History of Ideas (Comparative Studies of Health Systems & Medical Care)
from University of California Press
Price: $26.05

Customer Review:
On the face of it, a book on the history of Chinese medicine may sound about as interesting as watching paint dry. But this excellent book is riveting.
It tells a story with many parallels in the West: medicine is heavily influence by the society in which it is practiced. How we think about... more info

from DK Publishing
Price: $26.40

Customer Review:
I had been going to China on business for nearly 15 years now and this bewilderingly vast nation has always fascinated me, but I had never really taken the time to really dig into the nation's history and culture - until now. I'm starting out with this handsome book and 'China Road' by Rob Gifford... more info

from Hill and Wang
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
A reviewer from Bangalore hit the nail on the head when they said this book was meant to be an introduction into understanding China. This book is very easy to read and does an excellent job providing the reader a very general overview on China. If one is more interested in China's economy,... more info

from Cambridge University Press
Price: $152.26

Customer Review:
This volume is everything the 15 volume series the Cambridge History of China ought to be, and is easily the best single-volume pre-Qin history currently available in English. While it is true that there is sufficient information available to have made at least three volumes of this size, and would... more info

from Running Press
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
If you are trying to find a starting place in the history of China, then this is a good book for you. It is very shallow in the sense that it is only a sketch, but that is all you could reasonably ask of a small book like this that covers such a long period in history.
There are many books that... more info
