Civilization in East Asia is nearly 4000 years old, and its origins lie deep in the prehistoric past. This volume charts the developments that culminated in the emergence of the region in the 8th century as a coherent entity, with a shared religion (Buddhism), state philosophy (Confucianism) and bureaucratic structure. Photographs and drawings - from vibrant Jomon ceramics to the first Chinese emperor's terracotta army - complement the text.
