Three Kingdoms, A Historical Novel
"The Three Kingdoms gives us The Iliad of China. First of the five great works of traditional prose fiction, this master narrative transforms history into epic and has thereby educated and entertained readers of five centuries with unforgettable exemplars of martial and civic virtue, of personal fidelity and political treachery. Moss Roberts's translation, the first complete rendering in English, is one of surpassing excellence and impeccable scholarship. It should delight and captivate Western readers for many more years to come."—Anthony C. Yu, University of Chicago "Moss Roberts's elegant and powerful translation of China's most important historical romance has a stunning directness that aptly conveys the dramatic boldness of the original episodic narrative. English readers may now finally understand why this 15th-century novel so strategically shaped the political world-view of generations of Chinese."—Frederic Wakeman, Director of the Institute of East Asian Studies, University of California, Berkeley
HISTORY OF THREE KINGDOMS
The Twenty-Four Histories (Chinese: 二十四史) are the Chinese official historical books covering a period from 3000 BC to the Ming dynasty in the 17th century. The Han dynasty official Sima Qian established many of the conventions of the genre. Starting with the Tang dynasty, each dynasty established an official office to write the history of its predecessor using official court records. As fixed and edited in the Qing dynasty, the whole set contains 3213 volumes and about 40 million words. It is considered one of the most important sources on Chinese history and culture. The title "Twenty-Four Histories" dates from 1775 which was the 40th year in the reign of the Qianlong Emperor. This ...
Children in the Qin and Han Dynasties II
As the second volume of a three-volume work on children in the Qin and Han dynasties, Children in the Qin and Han Dynasties II examines the diverse experiences and social conditions of children. The study takes three innovative approaches: it pioneers a child-centred perspective that challenges traditional adult-centred historical narratives, combines classical texts with archaeological evidence, and employs a comprehensive interdisciplinary methodology. The volume examines a range of social groups, from child prodigies celebrated for their intellect, to child labourers in agriculture and domestic service, to children abducted or sold into servitude. It also examines the lives of upper-class children, including their education, upbringing and involvement in political affairs. Through these diverse perspectives, the volume offers a comprehensive view of the challenges and opportunities faced by children of different social classes in the Qin and Han dynasties, illuminating the complexities of childhood in ancient China. This important work will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students of Qin and Han history, Chinese cultural history, social history and childhood studies.

A Biographical Dictionary of Later Han to the Three Kingdoms (23-220 AD)
This publication is the long-awaited complement to Michael Loewe's acclaimed Biographical Dictionary of the Qin, Former Han and Xin Periods (2000). With more than 8,000 entries, based upon historical records and surviving inscriptions, the comprehensive Biographical Dictionary of Later Han to the Three Kingdoms (23-220 AD) now provides information on men and women of the Chinese world who lived at the time of Later (or Eastern) Han, from Liu Xiu, founding Emperor Guangwu (reg. 24-57), to the celebrated warlord Cao Cao (155-220) at the end of the dynasty. The entries, including surnames, personal names, styles and dates, are accompanied by maps, genealogical tables and indexes, with lists of books and special accounts of women. These features, together with the convenient surveys of the history and the administrative structure of the dynasty, will make Rafe de Crespigny's work an indispensable tool for any further serious study of a significant but comparatively neglected period of imperial China.
Base-Metal Catalysis 1
Recent advances in catalytic methods based on earth-abundant metals are discussed. Catalysis with earth-abundant metals, often referred to as base metals, is having a transformative impact on synthetic chemistry. Research in this area is driven not only by the common interest in the sustainability of chemical synthesis but also by the vast opportunity to discover and develop novel reaction chemistry that is not attainable with rare and precious metal catalysts. This work provides representative developments in base-metal catalysis, specifically catalysis with 3d-transition metals, in a format suitable for practitioners of organic synthesis. Volume 1 is focused on recent advances in copper and nickel catalysis, including Ullmann-type coupling, reductive coupling and cross-coupling reactions, CH activation and functionalization, and alkene hydrofunctionalization and difunctionalization. Methods for the installation of important functional groups such as trifluoromethyl and carboxyl, and for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols are also covered.
