Book Review: Question about editions
Summary: 5 Stars
Is anyone familiar with the difference between the 1982 edition and the newer revised edition? I know the transliteration has been updated to pinyin, and that there is a longer bibliography, but have there been any substantive changes in the translation of the text?
Summary of A History of Chinese Civilization
When published in 1982, this translation of Professor Jacques Gernet's masterly survey of the history and culture of China was immediately welcomed by critics and readers. This revised and updated edition includes a detailed chronology that has been updated through 1993, a new bibliography, and an expanded index that includes Chinese characters.General Books
