"China is considered by many historians to be the oldest continuous civilization in the world. Its culture has changed relatively little since ancient times. In this book, readers learn about the rich history of China and how its ancient roots have influenced its modern-day society. Full-color photographs augment the engaging text, and a detailed timeline gives a clear overview of the time period. The "History Happened Here" section brings this ancient civilization to life, showing readers the places and artifacts that remain today-a visual reminder that the past has very real effects on the present"-- Provided by publisher.
