"This book presents a view of the People's Republic of China as the cumuliative product of evolutionary change, from the Neolithic foundations of the early Bronze Age civilisation, through the eras of feudalism and empire, to the emergence of the sovereign nation-state. The Stovers skillfully weave together viewpoints of different disciplines into a coherent mosaic of the Chinese way of life, encompassing ecology, economids, politics, kinship, stratification, religion and world view."
