Books
In the West, the story of ancient China is less familiar to us than that of ancient Egypt or Rome, but it is no less absorbing, and its roll call of achievements is easily as impressive. This book unlocks the secrets of its Bronze Age glories and offers summaries of everything from the lost cities of the Zhou kings and the elaborate oracle-bone rituals that were practiced at their courts to the exquisite bronze vessels that gave the age its name, and the birth of Confucianism.
