{"product_id":"birth-of-an-empire-5-yuri-pines-9780520289741","title":"Birth of an Empire: Volume 5","description":"In 221 BCE the state of Qin vanquished its rivals and established the first empire on Chinese soil, starting a millennium-long imperial age in Chinese history. Hailed by some and maligned by many, Qin has long been an enigma. In this pathbreaking study, the authors integrate textual sources with newly available archeological and paleographic materials, providing a boldly novel picture of Qin's cultural and political trajectory, its evolving institutions and its religion, its place in China's history, and the reasons for its success and for its ultimate collapse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yuri Pines\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520289749\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520289741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.91d","brand":"Yuri Pines","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056222040319,"sku":"9780520289741","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a5a3f02c-817d-4d10-9391-98a8f88f7bdb.jpg?v=1685040170","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/birth-of-an-empire-5-yuri-pines-9780520289741","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
