In the Land of the Dragon : Imperial China, AD 960-1368 by Time-Life Books...

Description: This is a very intelligent and very beautiful book, and though scholarly it reads somewhat like a novel. The lives of several individuals are described in detail, and conflicts of partisan politics. The illustrations, many from classical sources, are great works of art and help to recreate the daily lives of the people of higher and lower classes, mostly during the Song dynasty. The last chapter covers the Khubilai Khan and the Mongol invasion and Marco Polo, and what life was like for the Mongols and the Chinese. The chapter ends with reproductions of paintings which the Chinese used to preserve their culture and to protest their harsh Mongol overlords.
