A Concise History of China

The centuries-long complexity of China's political experience, the richness of its exotic culture, and the drama of its economic unfolding are the hallmarks of this short but sweeping history. China's own history is entwined with its response to the West in a rich tapestry depicting its peoples, rulers, and society. More than a nuanced account focused on the history of a vast continent, this study is sensitive to the multifaceted and changing interpretations of China that have been offered over the years. In this overarching book, J. A. G. Roberts refers to recent archeological finds -- the caches of bronze vessels found at Sanxingdui -- and to new documentary reevaluations -- the reassessment of Manchu documentation. The first half of the book provides an up-to-date interpretation of China's early and imperial history, while the second half concentrates on the modern period and provides an interpretive account of major developments -- the impact of Western imperialism, the rise of Chinese Communism, and the record of the People's Republic of China since 1949.

History As Mystery

In a lively challenge to mainstream history, Michael Parenti does battle with a number of mass-marketed historical myths. He shows how history's victors distort and suppress the documentary record in order to perpetuate their power and privilege. And he demonstrates how historians are influenced by the professional and class environment in which they work. History as Mystery pursues intriguing and iconoclastic themes ranging from antiquity to modern times, from the Inquisition and Joan of Arc to the anti-labor bias of present-day history textbooks. Parenti challenges the image of early Christianity as a movement for the poor and a beacon of light in the Dark Ages. He unmasks the Church's support of slavery and serfdom, its suppression of learning and culture, and its oppression of heretics, women, and Jews. His in-depth case study of the strange death of Zachary Taylor illustrates how unsubstantiated speculations are transformed into official history by public officials, academic historians,...

PeopleFs History of the Civil War

History comes alive through the many voices in David Williams`s compelling history of the Civil War period, as he deepens our understanding of a war usually told through military campaigns and generals. Drawing on diaries, letters, journals, newspaper accounts, and official records, Williams shows a range of individuals and groups vying for power and trying to make their voices heard: laborers, landowners, soldiers, slave holders, slaves, freemen and women, merchants, immigrants, preachers, Indians, etc. He highlights key questions from the time, such as whether the armies on both sides were made up of poor people sent to fight a rich man`s war, and he shows the participation of many groups--for example women, who organized into cooperatives and demonstrated for the cause. He also covers the lesser-known war in the West and its impact on African Americans and Indians. His study of the common people does not evade the fact that they often fought tenaciously, and sometimes viciously, against... PeopleFs History of the Civil War

Television at the Crossroads by George Wedell, ISBN 0333716469

Television had, until recently, a social and cultural purpose. In Britain, the BBC, ITV and Channel 4, were committed to develop and maintain these purposes. With the enlargement of the range of choices for viewers by digital television and the provision of access to cable and satellite TV and the Internet, the role of the terrestrial television channels is being diluted. The authors examine these effects and consider what can be done to maintain the standards and quality of television at a time... jewelry television History of televisions A Concise History of China Television at the Crossroads by George Wedell, ISBN 0333716469
