A Military History of China
Gaining an understanding of China's long and sometimes bloody history can help to shed light on China's ascent to global power. Many of China's imperial dynasties were established as the result of battle, from the chariot warfare of ancient times to the battles of the Guomindang (KMT) and Communist regimes of the twentieth century. China's ability to sustain complex warfare on a very large scale was not emulated in other parts of the world until the Industrial Age, despite the fact that the country is only now rising to economic dominance. In A Military History of China, Updated Edition, David A. Graff and Robin Higham bring together leading scholars to offer a basic introduction to the military history of China from the first millennium B.C.E. to the present. Focusing on recurring patterns of conflict rather than traditional campaign narratives, this volume reaches farther back into China's military history than similar studies. It also offers insightful comparisons between Chinese and Western approaches to war. This edition brings the volume up to date, including discussions of the Chinese military's latest developments and the country's most recent foreign conflicts.

Comparative Ethos in Management
Globalisation has now been accepted as an inevitable development with all its benefits and problems. As teachers of management, we realized the communication gap between managers of different countries who were brought face to face to discuss common issues. Each had his/her own perspective and this book attempts to depict the different shades of lenses through which they view the problem and seeks to offer a rationale for these differences. It is felt that a study of the different traits would enable the growth of mutual understanding and thus make such interactions more objective and fruitful.Critical study of several leading countries in the American continent, Europe, Asia and Australia has been carried out and the discerning traits identified to establish country and time specific trends as also the changes that have taken place and are most likely to happen.
