China in the World
A History Since 1644
ISBN: 9780887276217
China in the World (book and CD-ROM set) explores China’s captivating history through engrossing historical narrative and hundreds of primary sources. Unit overviews, introductory essays, and time lines provide the context for appreciating the events and implications of China’s complex history. A wealth of primary sources—imperial edicts, sea captains’ letters, short stories, poetry, essays, posters, photographs, and cartoons—allows students to explore events from multiple perspectives and through many genres. Primary source-based activities foster analytical thinking, hone verbal skills, and ask students to consider history as a complicated, messy, and fascinating subject.
Written by teachers for teachers and students, China in the World serves as a perfect companion to standard world history texts and courses in world literature. It is also ideal for courses on East Asian studies, the history of China, or Chinese language and culture at the high school and college level. The emphasis on document analysis makes it an especially valuable resource for AP* or IB® courses.
The dual-platform CD includes hundreds of full-length documents, full-color images, maps, a bibliography, a glossary, and more, for convenient reference in the classroom or at home.

China in the World is a timely contribution to helping prepare Americans for...the twenty-first century.
Ezra F. Vogel, Henry Ford II Professor Emeritus, Harvard University
I've used China in the World with my twelfth-grade students and found the format much to my liking. The brief background readings that include excerpts from primary sources help students learn about China without being overwhelmed by textual information. The well-chosen documents are just the right length, and they focus on pertinent information. The CD-ROM is an added resource that allows me to access the full text of the documents when I choose to do so. I also like the fact that the activities require students to utilize several of the documents/sources and analyze/synthesize the information rather than simply answer basic content questions. I highly recommend the textbook for anyone who teaches about China.
