Ancient China in Context
The Emergence of China:
From Confucius to the Empire
E Bruce Brooks and A Taeko Brooks

The Emergence of China opens with a background chapter on the preceding Spring and Autumn period, and closes with a chapter on the unified Empire. In between come six topical chapters, tracing the Warring States period from the viewpoint of statecraft, the economy, warfare, the elite, the people, and the impulse toward something higher than everyday life, here called Transcendence.
