Art, Myth, and Ritual
A leading scholar in the United States on Chinese archaeology challenges long-standing conceptions of the rise of political authority in ancient China. Questioning Marx’s concept of an “Asiatic” mode of production, Wittfogel’s “hydraulic hypothesis,” and cultural-materialist theories on the importance of technology, K. C. Chang builds an impressive counterargument, one which ranges widely from recent archaeological discoveries to studies of mythology, ancient Chinese poetry, and the iconography of Shang food vessels.
A History of China from the Earliest Days Down to the Present
The present volume professes to give the history of China in a form that is new to the English reader. It is not a compilation gathered from all kinds of sources, but a reproduction, from the original, of the Standard History of China. That work and the writings of Confucius and Mencius are the only authentic sources from whence the story of the Empire can possibly be obtained. Many writers during the long ages of the past have written the history of their times, but they are unreliable and valuable only in so far as they agree with the accounts contained in the above standard work. -- Preface.
Branches of Heaven
How the Sung created a social and political asset in the imperial clan while neutralizing it as a potential threat is the story of this book."--BOOK JACKET. "In this, the first full-length study of the imperial clan as an institution, John W. Chaffee analyzes its history, its political role, and the lifestyle of its members, focusing on their residence patterns, marriages, and occupations."--BOOK JACKET.
The Scrolls of Adamis
When a shadowy Chinese messenger appears at the door of Alfred Smith, a top geneticist and gives him a package that contains the newly discovered "Scrolls of Adamis" nothing in his life will be the same. If authentic, these papers will explode all the accepted theories of Darwinism, our most precious religious doctrines and even Creation itself. It will draw mankind into a new kind of "War of the Worlds" that will threaten our continued existence. More momentous than the "Dead Sea Scrolls" it will redefine the very existence of God. Only Alfred, his beautiful scientific associate, Ming Loo, held prisoner in China and an eccentric Professor from Duke University stand in the way of Earth's domination by an all powerful alien force that have already conquered our minds, infiltrated our DNA with their powerful genes and have patiently waited since our creation to complete their conquest. After countless eons, just 100 years are left for most of us on Earth and our descendents. After that all would disappear except for a chosen few. Only this unlikely trio has any chance of stopping them.
