Rezensionen

This is a catalogue for an exhibition of Chinese paintings organized by C.T. Loo, which provides examples of Tang, Wu-tai, Sung and Yuan pictures, giving the reader a sense of the variety of schools, styles and subjects.

The catalogue includes 30 reproductions of the paintings and descriptions, by Berthold Laufer, curator of the Field Museum in Chicago.

Absolutely incredible book so rich with information that you don't read this book, you search within it for precise information. By the way, the subtitle is: "...with special reference to the History of Cultivated Plants and Products".

Whatever you do, do NOT buy a Print-on-Demand (POD) version of this book. It is pure rubbish. This book has so much information that each page contains countless footnotes and references and cross-references so when it is "automatically" scanned "using a robot which automaticlly flipped and photographed each page" [from How We Made This Book For You] you get pure gibberish with sentences broken up mid-sentence and countless little numbers leading you nowhere or springing up in the middle of 'somewhere'. And of course the Index is pure garbage with the carefully photographically reproduced page numbers leading you to pages that are totally irrelevant in a POD version. The best you can do is dip in and out until you find something of interest and then hope it's not cut off mid-sentence ... with no continuation within 50 pages in either direction.

This book is worth finding in an original edition and paying its price--whatever.
