Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Compact, concise book, very informative.
Review: H.G. Creel writes a wonderful book tracing the roots of Chinese thought from the pre-Confucian era to Mao Tse-Tung. Written in an easy to understand fashion, the book makes you want to learn more about the subject.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Old-fashioned but enjoyable
Review: I just picked up a beautiful old copy of this at Moe's books in Berkeley. It dates from the early fifties. I don't know if this Chicago edition is simply a reprint, but I am finding it to be a throroughly well-written and enjoyable book. At times it simplifies and idealizes where perhaps a contemporary academic account might be more cautious, but this gives it a certain romance that accords with the subject matter.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Informative, but poorly written
Review: Quite frankly, I expected more from a book that the University of Chicago Press ventured to publish. A nice summary but you'd swear that the author's first language wasn't English.
