Publisher Synopsis
Recommended for academic and larger public libraries. * Booklist, January 2010 * This well-organized and well-documented dictionary is recommended for all libraries. * American Reference Books Annual * The dictionary is a valuable contribution. -- K.C. Fraser * s, Summer 2010 * In this very impressive compendium, Gao examines political, military, social, cultural, educational, and economic development in China during the 19th century and first half of the 20th. Unlike other English dictionaries on modern China that tend to focus on revolutionary movements, Gao's work deals with almost every aspect of Chinese society during the 150-year 'modern China' period. ...The appendixes provide important facts and statistics about the political, cultural, and economic transformation that drives China towards modernization. The bibliography presents classic and recent English-language writings on modern China that are tremendously useful for readers interested in further study and research. Highly recommended. * CHOICE, December 2009 * Read more...
