About the Authors
Reviews
"[T]hought-provoking and challenging, and it certainly will encourage further research. Indeed, Barbieri-Low's work is an important step in Sino-Egyptian studies."—American Journal of Archaeology
"This is a book of great integrity. Solidly grounded in primary sources and informed by voluminous secondary scholarship in all relevant European languages, it is innovative in its approach, strong on analysis, and very engagingly written: a true masterpiece. It must be read by anyone interested in either China or Egypt or in comparative ancient historiography."—Journal of Anthropological Research
"Far too much history is written with an ideographic lens, looking at one state or people in isolation from others. It is only the nomothetic lens that allows us to discern difference and novelty. Barbieri-Low has risen to the challenge, producing a first-rate comparison of two great ancient states that hopefully will inspire similar approaches."—Journal of Indo-Pacific Affairs
Endorsements
"A major and invaluable contribution to the growing body of comparative work on ancient societies."—Walter Scheidel, Stanford University
