Third Edition
• This third revised edition includes new archaeological discoveries, and fuller treatment of environmental history and Chinese interaction with the wider world, placing China in global context.
• The final chapter brings the story into the twenty-first century, covering the transformation of China into one of the world’s leading economies and the challenges it faces.
‘For its scholarly excellence and wonderful illustrations, Patricia Buckley Ebrey’s work has long stood out as the best concise account of the long history of Chinese culture. The new edition is even better, reflecting new perspectives on interactions among diverse populations inside and outside the shifting borders of Chinese polities.’ ‘This latest edition is the best yet: not just updated but reconceptualized from start to finish, and with more visual sources than ever. You simply cannot beat the combination that Patricia Buckley Ebrey offers: a clear and authoritative narrative, amply supported by quotations from primary sources, with maps and illustrations on virtually every page.’ Professor Paul R.

A Concise History of GERMANY
This third edition of Mary Fulbrook’s much-admired and popular introduction to German history provides a clear and informative guide to the twists and turns of the story of the German lands and peoples from the early middle ages to the present day. Crisply synthesising a vast array of historical material, Fulbrook explores the interrelationships between social, political and cultural factors in the light of scholarly controversies. Since the second edition in 2004, there have been important changes in Germany, Europe and the wider world. This new edition features a significantly expanded chapter on Germany since 1990, encapsulating recent and dramatic developments that have transformed Germany’s character and international standing. This single-volume history of Germany offers broad and accessible coverage and provides a useful guide for students, general readers, travellers to Germany and anyone with an interest in German history.

‘An impressive overview of historical theory and its impact on the practices of “working historians”. Written in Berger’s characteristically clear and engaging style, this book will serve as the perfect intro for those new to the field.’ Berber Bevernage, Ghent University
‘A comprehensive guide to the sea-change in scholarly history-writing since the 1970s. Addressing the perennial relation between history and identity, the author both urges and practices a self-reflective view of the historian’s trade. THIRD EDITION A useful book indeed.’ Carol Gluck, Columbia University ‘In this masterful book, Stefan Berger illuminates key developments in the theory of history and the important historical subfields that emerged from these theoretical contestations with earlier historical trends. It is a must read for those interested in the past, recent trends in the theory and practice of history, and perhaps most important, Berger’s own sense of what history SHOULD be.’ Ethan Kleinberg, Wesleyan University ‘Berger’s History and Identity demonstrates that identitarian concerns have always shaped professional historical writing, and that historical practice is always related to collective identity formation. This work is an urgent intervention into today’s culture wars that will certainly outlast them.’ Tracey Loughran, University of Essex ‘The varieties and sub-specializations of history that have divided and re-divided the discipline since the 1960s can confuse and frustrate students. Berger’s History and Identity provides a clear and intelligent pathway through these thickets.’ Daniel Woolf, Queen’s University
