 Ancient China: Life, Myth and Art (softcover, 144 pp.) by Edward L. Shaughnessy is a showcase of the artistic and imaginative achievements of ancient China in all their glory - from the invention of writing to the Tang dynasties. Ancient China sets the beliefs, art and daily life of this rich and inventive imperial power against the rise and fall of its dynasties.
