Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press,. Very Good. 1969. Soft Cover. "Originally issued as United States relations with China, with special reference to the period 1944-1949 (Department of State publication 3573, Far Eastern series 30). Reissued with the original letter of transmittal to President Truman from Secretary of State Dean Acheson and with a new introduction by Lyman P. Van Slyke." 2 volumes (1079 pages), wrappers, very good. From the publisher: This work was originally published in 1949 as United States Relations With China: With Special Reference to the Period 1944-1949. It is now reissued with an extensive Index prepared for this edition. The White Paper appeared during the final stages of Communist victory in China. Amid increasingly strident controversy over the American role in these events, the Department of State sought to let the record speak for itself. The work begins with a 400-page summary of American China policy down to the summer of 1949; the remainder of the volume consists of over 600 pages of official documents most of which were highly classified until the date of publication. According to John K. Fairbank, 'This volume marks the end of an era and also tries to explain it. It represents our last real view of the Chinese scene; everything since has been indirect. Ore important, this volume distills the understanding of the generation of trained China officers that began with the Rogers Act of 1924. These men were true China specialists who served in all parts of the country, and we have few like them today. In our lifetime I doubt we shall again get this much of a grasp of the Chinese scene." . more information

From the preface: This book is an introduction to the scientific publications on the explorations of the Central Asiatic Expeditions in Mongolia and China, from 191 to 1930. It tells how the work was done and attempts to give a picture of the country itself, of the Expeditions' daily life in camp and on the trail, of the transport by camels and motor cars, and of the principal discoveries in the various branches of science represented. From the Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition: Roy Chapman Andrews, 1884-1960, American naturalist and explorer, b. Beloit, Wis., B.A. Beloit College, 1906, M.A. Columbia Univ., 1913. Associated with the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, from 1906, he was its director from 1935 to 1942. Between 1908 and 1914 he made several trips to Alaska, along the coast of Asia, and in Malayan seas to study aquatic mammals. He later conducted (1917-30) several expeditions into central Asia to study both fossil and living plants and animals. In the Gobi desert, he discovered some of the world's great fossil fields, which yielded the remains of many ancient animals (including Baluchitherium, the largest known land mammal), dinosaurs and their eggs, and plants previously unknown to science. Handsome and charismatic, Andrews was something of a celebrity, lecturing and becoming a radio personality. He described his expeditions in several books and discussed them all in The New Conquest of Central Asia (1932). His writings also include Meet Your Ancestors (1945), In the Days of the Dinosaur (1959), and the autobiographical Under a Lucky Star (1943) and An Explorer Comes Home (1947). . more information

From the back cover, 'The foreign policy of the People's Republic of china has been dominated in recent decades by the problems of dealing with the other major powers in East Asia. Although many ideological, political, and economic aims have shaped particular Chinese policies, Peking's dominant concern has been nationall security. Since the late 1960s, its leaders have viewed the Soviet Union as the primary threat to China andhave pursued a distinctive, Maoist, balance-of-power strategy against it...In this study, Barnett analyzes in detail China's bilateral relations with the Soviet Union, Japan, and the United States. He also examines the changing nature of the four-power relationship in East Asia. On this basis, he discusses possible future trends in Chinese policy and the prospects for achieving a more stable equilibrium.' . more information
