For the revised edition, Chinese names, places, and terms have been romanized to current international usage. Throughout, information has been updated in view of new finds; there is a new introduction, and the final chapter on twentieth-century art has been completely rewritten. Includes a chronology of Chinese historical periods and six maps." - Publisher.. 2nd. Paperback. Very Good. 8vo. 1997. Thames and Hudson; World of Art Ser. ISBN 0500202990 9780500202999 [US] |
