Description

Xu Hong Where did the word "China" (Zhongguo中国, the Central State) come from, and why was this hinterland named "Central State"? This book retraces the origins of China. It provides readers with a timeline, and tells the stories that happened in the central plain (the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River) around 2000 B.C. Through analysis of the rise and fall of Taosi, Songshan Cultures, the rise of Xinzhai Site and so on, which finally leads to the study of Erlitou Site and culture, the author deconstructs the birth of the Xia Dynasty, which was the first dynasty of China, and reconstructs the formation of the prehistoric and protohistoric China.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
