No dj, as issued. Conner\'s exquisite bw photos of China: the old, the new; the sacred and the secular; the lush and the desert; the mountains and the plains; the urban and the remote. With a foreword by Spence, a lengthy essay by Barme, and a two-page essay by Conner. Includes a note on spelling and a map. VG+ (Would be NF but for Laurence Miller Gallery plate on ffep, who often shows Conner\'s work; a ding in the top/front spine edge; and a 1/4 inch spot on the very bottom of page edges - when closed - at very right corner, where something reddish left a stain. It does not wrap around to the sides of the pages, nor into the pages faces themselves.) All in all in lovely condition.

Chinese Roundabout. Essays in History and Culture.
New York/ London, W.W. Norton and Company, 1992, XIII,(1),400 pag., illustrations, hardcover with dustjacket (as new). = The spirit of adventure is at the heart of Jonathan Spence\'s widely acclaimed scholarship on the modern history of China. This vitality, fleshed out with deep research and attired in elegant style, has drawn countless readers to subjects otherwise approachable only by experts. Through eight books, from the story of the early eighteenth century Manchu bondservant Ts\'ao Yin to his magisterial history, The Search for Modern China, Spence has made the excitement of intellectual discovery palpable for us all. In the course of his fruitful career Spence has written many shorter pieces as well, and the best of these are collected for the first time in Chinese Roundabout. Here the reader will meet Arcadio Huang, the Chinese linguist and Christian convert who moves from south China to Enlightenment Paris, marries a French woman, and in conversations with Montesquieu becomes the likely source for the Persian Letters. The poignant story of Huang\'s hard-won success and final defeat by poverty and disease illustrates the perils of crossing cultures. Spence\'s delight in intellectual risk animates his Shakespearean approach to the life of the great Qing emperor in The Seven Ages of K\'ang-hsi. Spence\'s great learning informs an authoritative essay on China\'s tragic experience with opium. Following the social process of addiction from the cultivation of poppies and the processing of the drug through its introduction by the British into China, its widespread distribution and consumption by Chinese, and the public struggle to suppress opium use, Spence explores issues of historical and contemporary interest. In an equally substantial piece he focuses on the cultural dimensions of food in Qing China, illuminating the marginal diet of a peasantry constantly threatened by famine as well as the grand banquets of the literati and the imperial household. In the work of 25 years, Spence has established himself as a brilliant interpreter of modern Chinese history. His books-among them the recent national bestseller The Search for Modern China-exhibit uncommon imagination, unobtrusive learning, verve, and elegance. These same qualities animate the essays gathered here.

To Change China. Western Advisers in China.
New York etc., Penguin, 1980, VIII,(6),335,(1) pag., paperback.= Owner\'s name. From the best known and most talented historian of China writing in English today (Los Angeles Times), an examination of a diverse collection of Western foreigners who attempted to change China To change China was the goal of foreign missionaries, soldiers, doctors, teachers, engineers, and revolutionaries for more than three hundred years. But the Chinese, while eagerly accepting Western technical advice, clung steadfastly to their own religious and cultural traditions. As a new era of relations between China and the United States begins, the tales in this volume will serve as cautionary histories for businessmen, diplomats, students, or any other foreigners who foolishly believe that they can transform this vast, enigmatic country.
