Spanning thousands of years, it encompasses stories of murder and betrayal, bravery and corruption; of triads, syndicates, kingmakers, merchants, emperors, generals, spies, and pirates. Consistently praised for his scholarship and his ability to weave multiple strands into a fast-paced narrative, Sterling Seagrave provides us with not only a masterly history, but also a cautionary tale - for the strategies that have proven so successful for the Chinese in the past are just as effective today. Lords of the Rim furnishes a fascinating portal into both the past and the future of the world's Pacific economy ; Contents: Thick Face, Black Heart -- A Stew of hounds -- Sweet Revenge, Eaten Cold -- Elixir of Youth -- The Man Who Discovered Europe -- Children of Yueh -- Sanbao the Sailor -- Chairman of the High Seas -- Part Two: Empire -- 9.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition. Hardback in dustwrapper. 25.5 × 17.5cm, 151pp [1], + folding map to pocket at rear. Signed and dedicated by both Peter Ng and Hugh Baker to the half-title page. In 1573 the Guangdong Province county of Dongguan was divided into two parts, one of which was named Xin'an Xian (New Peace County). Its 600 square miles of territory included all of what is now Hong Kong and the New Territories. The new county was poor, sparsely populated and harassed by marauding bands of pirates and land-based ruffians. The Xin'an Xinazhi (Gazetteer of Xin'an County) was the combined work of local people and officials posted to the county. It dealt with the geography, history, economy, traditions and literature of the area and remains today the fullest source of information on pre-twentieth century Xin'an. This book looks at the 1819 edition of the gazetteer, the last revision of it to be made. The contents of its twenty-five chapters are analysed and discussed under the four main headings History, Geography, Economy, and Government, and a translation section samples thee rich material found there. Old maps of the county have been specially redrawn to accompany the text. Condition: This copy is in very good condition, with a little light wear to the wrapper's edges. Signed by Author(s).…
