Ancient Chinese life comes into ever-clearer focus thanks to 21st century science, especially archaeology, geology, and paleontology. New discoveries continuously contribute to the information store of each period and culture. 'Ancient China' uses the newest and most significant archaeological findings to bring young, modern readers up close to an intriguing, complex society, and shows them what those findings tell about a great nation's evolution.
Each chapter brings readers to a place of archaeological significance in the vast land we now call China. From the banks of the Yellow River to the hot sands of the Gobi Desert, readers go to the spots where pieces of history have been unearthed - and in many cases, are still being discovered, because many excavations are active today. This dynamic new series focuses on two themes central to the National Geographic mission: exploration and discovery. Vivid text is accompanied by stunning photographs and illustrations, giving readers access to the latest information on each exciting topic. What we know of the ancient world is constantly evolving based on new archaeological finds and the ways experts interpret them.
