Full title :China : understanding its past / Eileen Tamura, Linda K. Menton, Noren W. Lush, Francis K.C. Tsui with Warren Cohen.

Summary

China: Understanding Its Past aims to fill a conspicuous gap in conventional world history texts, which are often Eurocentric and give scant attention to Asia. Using role-playing, simulations, debates, primary documents, first person accounts, excerpts from literary works, and cooperative learning activities, this text will help students explore many key aspects of China's history and culture. The teacher's manual includes a synopsis of each chapter and section, learner outcomes, definitions of key concepts, directions for student activities, and possible responses to questions posed in the student text. The CD contains 23 selections of Chinese music from different time periods and locales. Liner notes include English translations of lyrics as well as historical information about each selection.
