With the vision and attention to detail that were everywhere evident in his highly acclaimed 1587: A Year of No Significance, Ray Huang moved from micro to macro history with the stunning achievement of China: A Macro History, which takes a fresh look at at the full sweep of Chinese history from neolithic times to the present. Provocative, insightful, and displaying an extraordinary breadth of knowledge, Mr. Huang has written a highly readable account of the panorama of Chinese history that will challenge and fascinate scholar and layperson alike. In the words of the late Joseph Needham, "I have never enjoyed a read more than Ray Huang's history of China..".
