    The Columbia Guide to Modern Chinese History

    Engelstalig. Gebonden met stofomslag, geen naam voorin, in goede staat. Edward and Catherine Doehler Chair in Asian History R Keith Schoppa 

    China, the world's oldest and most populous state, remains an enigma to most people in the West, even at a time when that country is playing an increasingly prominent role on the international stage. At the heart of modern Chinese history have been the efforts of the Chinese people to transform their polity into a modern nation state, the Confucian orthodoxy into an ideology that can help direct that process, and an agrarian economy into an industrial one. These efforts are ongoing and of great importance.

    This book is both an introduction to the major features of modern Chinese history and a resource for researchers interested in virtually any topic relating to the Chinese experience of the last 220 years. This valuable reference contains:

    - a historical narrative providing a comprehensive overview of five core aspects of Chinese history: domestic politics, society, the economy, the world of culture and thought, and relations with the outside world;

    - a compendium of 250 short, descriptive articles on key figures, events, and terms;

    - a resource guide containing approximately 500 annotated entries for the most authoritative sources for further research in English, as well as descriptions of important films depicting modern China and a guide to electronic resources; and

    - appendices, including a chronology, excerpts from key primary source documents, and a wealth of tables and graphs on demographic, social, and economic trends.

    Post-modernism. The new classicism in art and architecture

    Hardcover met omslag. In het Engels. In zeer goede staat en prachtig geillustreerd. 

    "This book is the first to describe the growing convergence during the last decade towards a new classical style - a return to painting and building within the western classical tradition. Often misread as Neo-Conservatism, this style cuts across the socio-political spectrum as a radical departure from Modernism. Like the revolutionary classicism of the 1790s and the Free-Style Classicism of the 1900s, it has social and moral roots and is variable in genre. With his customary style and originality, Jencks places this international movement in a historical context and defines the intentions which inform it, the rules which govern it, and the salient characteristics of its various manifestations. In art, five major trends are distinguished: Metaphysical Classicism, which includes Carlo Maria Mariani, Gerard Garouste and Malcolm Morley; Narrative Classicism, which embraces the work of Hockney and Kitaj; Allegorical Classical as exemplified by the work of, among others, Stone Roberts, Bruno Civitico and Lincoln Perry; Realist Classicism, including artists as diverse as John De Andrea and Ben Johnson; and Classical Sensibility, which covers, among others, Avigdor Arikha, Michael Andrews and Milet Andrejevic. Architecture is split into four major groups - the Fundamentalists, Revivalists, Urbanists and Eclectics - and the work of architects as diverse as Takefumi Aida, Leon Krier, Robert Venturi, James Stirling and Michael Graves is discussed."--BOOK JACKET.
