The Construction of Space in Early China
ISBN: 9780791466070 / Angielski / Twarda / 498 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the formation of the Chinese empire through its reorganization and reinterpretation of its basic spatial units: the human body, the household, the city, the region, and the world.

Consequently, as Mark Edward Lewis shows, each level of spatial organization could achieve order and meaning only within an encompassing, superior...

Carter outlines the birth of Chinese nationalism in an unlikely setting: the international city of Harbin.
