Synopsis
The Cambridge Encyclopedia of China provides an absorbing and authoritative account of China and all things Chinese - geography, politics, customs, food and drink, the arts, and a rich and colourful history, from ancient times through to the momentous events of the past decade. Brian Hook and his team of expert contributors have thoroughly revised and updated the Encyclopedia to take full account of the most recent developments in China, from the economic reforms and increased freedoms of the early 1980s to the crisis of 1989 and its aftermath. The book is thus a uniquely broad-ranging account of China for everyone with an interest in the area, which will appeal both as a highly attractive illustrated reference book and as an invaluable source of practical information on a developing superpower.

Book Description
The Cambridge Encyclopedia of China provides an absorbing and authoritative account of China from its history, geography, politics and customs to food, drink and the arts. The book is thus a uniquely broad-ranging account of China for everyone with an interest in the area.
From Library Journal
More than 70 contributors have prepared this substantial reference on China. Topics cover history, law, medicine, religion, literature, and architecture, with less emphasis on social conditions. Compared with the first edition ( LJ 5/15/83), this version contains many of the same maps, illustrations, text, and a few statistics, but substitutes Pinyin for Wade-Giles transliteration and brings history up through the 1980s. The maps, though plentiful, at times lack clear color delineation and the writers' styles vary from readable to dry. A useful purchase, especially for smaller libraries.
