Review
"He handles with grace and skill the challenge of making the country's dynastic past intelligible to the layman" Times Literary Supplement "A thoroughgoing history of China's ruling dynasties and their extraordinary achievements in architecture. The author's knowledge of Chinese dynasties is nearly encyclopedic... [his] work takes the traveler deep into the fascinating recesses of each dynasty" Kirkus Reviews "In addition to the political history, Sinophiles should savor Cotterell's surveys of the imperial capitals" Booklist
