Opis

This is a comprehensive portrait of Taiwan. It covers the major periods in the development of this small but powerful island province/nation. That history is as long and in many ways as dramatic as that of the United States, another pioneer culture. The chapters in the book are intended for the educated lay audience and for students from college to graduate level, as well as for historians of Asian and world history. Patterned after the multi-volume Cambridge History of China, this book has been planned from the ground up to be a comprehensive portrait of Taiwan from neolithic times to the present. Each of the 13 chapters was specially commissioned for this book and is being written by an established and well-published expert in the field.
