They cover a wide range of topics, from the origins of Japan's samurai culture to the rise of the Qing dynasty in China. The lectures are dense and detailed, but are also lively and engaging. They are an excellent resource for students of East Asian history, and are well worth reading even if you are not interested in the subject matter.; Vol. 3; 8vo ; 336 pages; 51910: 15 volume set.
