*s, Summer 2010*
In this very impressive compendium, Gao examines political,
military, social, cultural, educational, and economic development
in China during the 19th century and first half of the 20th. Unlike
other English dictionaries on modern China that tend to focus on
revolutionary movements, Gao's work deals with almost every aspect
of Chinese society during the 150-year 'modern China' period.
...The appendixes provide important facts and statistics about the
political, cultural, and economic transformation that drives China
towards modernization. The bibliography presents classic and recent
English-language writings on modern China that are tremendously
useful for readers interested in further study and research. Highly
recommended.
