The Ancestral Landscape
An ETHS graduate of 1949 brings ancient China to life with careful scholarship, producing a brilliant synthesis of Shang civilization.
The Cambridge History of Ancient China
The Cambridge History of Ancient China provides a survey of the institutional and cultural history of pre-imperial China.
To Become a God
Evidence from Shang oracle bones to memorials submitted to Western Han emperors attests to a long-lasting debate in early China over the proper relationship between humans and gods. One pole of the debate saw the human and divine realms as separate and agonistic and encouraged divination to determine the will of the gods and sacrifices to appease and influence them. The opposite pole saw the two realms as related and claimed that humans could achieve divinity and thus control the cosmos. This wide-ranging book reconstructs this debate and places within their contemporary contexts the rival claims concerning the nature of the cosmos and the spirits, the proper demarcation between the human an...
Advanced Electronic Packaging: Volume 968
Microelectronic packaging architecture evolutions are being driven by silicon technology advancements and new form factors, used models and emerging technologies. High-performance mobile computer and communication systems will require higher I/O counts, greater density, lower cost, lighter weight and improved performance in the electronic package. The book focuses on silicon technology dimension scaling and performance improvement, Pb-free or 'green' assembly, and system-in-package (SIP) technologies. It explores the key thermomechanical failure modes and mitigating solutions associated with integration of silicon with weak interlayer dielectrics during the assembly process, under bump metallurgy integrity with lead-free assembly, and the impact of stress on die-cracking and transistor performance in 3D thin-die stacking. The interaction of these failures with silicon and assembly materials, processes and design features is covered and includes: system in package; advanced packaging/nanotechnology in packaging; physical behavior and mechanical behavior in packaging; electromigration and thermal behavior in packaging and thin films and adhesives in packaging.
Imperial China and Its Southern Neighbours
At a time when China-Southeast Asia relationships are undergoing profound changes, it is pleasing to have a volume which examines the interactions between China and the polities and societies to the south through time. With multiple aims of exploring the relations between northern Chinese cultures and those of the south, examining the cultural plurality of areas which are today parts of Southern China, and illuminating the relations between Sinitic and non-Sinitic societies, the volume is broad in concept and content. Within these extensive rubrics, this edited collection further interrogates the nature of Asian polities and their historiography, the constitution of Chineseness, imperial China's southern expansions, cultural hybridity, economic relations, regional systems and ethnic interactions across East Asia. The editors Victor H. Mair and Liam C. Kelley are to be congratulated for bringing together such a wealth of contributions offering nascent interpretations and broad overviews, set within the overarching historical and contemporary contexts provided through Wang Gungwu's introduction.- Dr Geoffrey Wade, ANU College of Asia and the Pacific, Australian National University

Chinese Civilization in the Making, 1766–221 BC
This book provides a fresh interpretation of how Chinese civilization was created and transformed in the process of its early formation (1766-221 BC). It describes the principal features of that civilization which had a profound impact on the later development of Chinese history. In particular, it discusses in detail the main characteristics of the social and political organizations of that period, and argues that, contrary to the traditional interpretation, economic development in ancient China had its own dynamism.
