I am a public school teacher and have been looking for materials on China for my Asian Studies course. I was at my wits end using materials meant for a world history course. Coverage of Asia was minimal and reading level was for 11th or 12th grade. I needed something that both 9th graders and 12th graders could use. This book is perfect. The reading level is appropriate for 9th graders, but the assessment and evaluation activities allow for higher level critical thinking skills. The students really enjoy the stories told from a personal perspective and the explanations for the historical context. And, as if that weren't enough, the book is reasonably priced.
