STEIN, Aurel.
Innermost Asia: Its Geography as a Factor in History. [First Asia Lecture]
56 pages, in two complete issues. Plus numerous photographic plates, one of which is a panoramic view and two large fold-out color maps, measuring approximately 9 x 18.5 inches (23 x 47cm) and 8 x 9 inches (20 x 23cm). Published in two separate consecutive monthly issues of the Geographical Journal. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. Two complete issues, seldom found in such good and original condition. Aurel Stein's first lecture at the Royal Geographica Society and covers his travels in Chinese Turkestan. Pre-dating Aurel Stein's book, "Innermost Asia", published in 1928. A highly invaluable expedition account, profusely illustrated with spectacular photographic plates and accompanied by 2 large fold-out colour maps, containing Stein's elucidation of ancient routes, remarkable excavations, and prehistoric civilizations. Features Loulan, Tunhwang, Mastuj, Lovaza, the former delta of Quruq Darya, the Mingshui Wells and dried up Lop Sea, etc. Stein's explorations extended from Central Asia, Kansu and Eastern Iran, carried out under the orders of H.M. Government. Stein's captivating personal reveal of archaeological and geographical explorations carried out, and most significant discoveries made in the remotest parts of Asia. "Innermost Asia" is the detailed scientific report of the author's Central Asian expedition to Chinese Turkestan, tracing the ancient route across the Lop desert undertaken during the years 1913-16. This took him to Kashgar, Khotan, the Pamirs, Samarkand, before finally turning south through eastern Persia to Baluchistan. In addition to visiting old sites, he made several new excavations in the region of Turfan. At the Caves of the Thousand Buddhas he extracted more manuscripts and on his return through Persia discovered Buddhist remains at Sistan in south-east Persia. At the end of this expedition Stein's reputation as the authority on the archaeology of the Silk Road was unchallenged. As with his other great expeditions it was to be several years before the publication of the official report but when it arrived it was a great success, most copies having been sold prior to publication.

Sterckx Roel
Chinese Thought: From Confucius to Cook Ding
16mo, br. ed. 518pp. At a time in current affairs when understanding China and the Chinese mindset has become imperative, Chinese Thought brilliantly shows us the origin of that country's thinking -- Alexander Watson - BBC: History Magazine Books of the Year A terrific book, rich and endlessly thought provoking. Roel Sterckx is a delightfully engaging and informed travelling companion who gives us a wonderful overview of Chinese thought. If you are looking for one book to understand the core ideas of Chinese civilisation, read this -- Michael Wood, author of The Story of China We have been waiting for this book for too long. For centuries, the real China has been locked in a distant castle by both the western media and Chinese propaganda. If you are curious about the origin of China's yin and yang, if you want to know more about the roots of Chinese philosophy, if you want to know how to do business with the Chinese, if you want to gain insight into Chinese art, or even if you want to understand the mentality of Chinese people, this book will answer these questions for you. Roel Sterckx's book can be the key to opening that Chinese castle's gate, and help you to understand how Chinese life has taken shape from Confucius to the food menus of today -- Xinran Xue, author of Sky Burial, The Good Women of China, and China Witness An outstanding introduction to the world of thought in classical China. Engagingly written and beautifully argued. . . an invaluable work for anyone interested in exploring the key ideas and concerns that have animated so much of Chinese civilization -- Michael Puett, author of The Path: What Chinese Philosophers Can Teach Us About the Good Life An indispensable read for those keen to understand China past and present. Sterckx's journey through the complex world of Chinese thinking is thorough, clear, accessible, articulate and fascinating. I will be recommending this book to my students, colleagues and friends alike -- Michael Scott, author of Ancient Worlds Ever wondered why Chinese have valued ritual more than law, harmony more than personal accomplishment? In this engagingly-written book, Roel Sterckx makes these and other central elements in Chinese thought easy to understand and interesting to think about -- Patricia B. Ebrey, professor of history, University of Washington L'autore Roel Sterckx is Joseph Needham Professor of Chinese History, Science and Civilization at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Clare College. He is a sinologist specializing in the cultural history, religion and thought of pre-imperial and early imperial China as well as the classical and literary Chinese language.

Sterckx Roel
Food, Sacrifice, and Sagehood in Early China
8vo br. ed. 284pp. In ancient China, the preparation of food and the offering up of food as a religious sacrifice were intimately connected with models of sagehood and ideas of self-cultivation and morality. Drawing on received and newly excavated written sources, Roel Sterckx s book explores how this vibrant culture influenced the ways in which the early Chinese explained the workings of the human senses, and the role of sensory experience in communicating with the spirit world. The book, which begins with a survey of dietary culture from the Zhou to the Han, offers intriguing insights into the ritual preparation of food - some butchers and cooks were highly regarded and would rise to positions of influence as a result of their culinary skills - and the sacrificial ceremony itself. As a major contribution to the study of early China and to the development of philosophical thought, the book will be essential reading for students of the period, and for anyone interested in ritual and religion in the ancient world.

Sterckx Roel Ed,
Animals Through Chinese History Earliest Times to 1911
8vo, br. ed, 390pp. This volume opens a door into the rich history of animals in China. As environmental historians turn their attention to expanded chronologies of natural change, something new can be said about human history through animals and about the globally diverse cultural and historical dynamics that have led to perceptions of animals as wild or cultures as civilized. This innovative collection of essays spanning Chinese history reveals how relations between past and present, lived and literary reality, have been central to how information about animals and the natural world has been processed and evaluated in China. Drawing on an extensive array of primary sources, ranging from ritual texts to poetry to veterinary science, this volume explores developments in the human-animal relationship through Chinese history and the ways in which the Chinese have thought about the world with and through animals. This title is also available as Open Access.

Of Tripod and Palate: Food, Politics, and Religion in Traditional China
8vo, hardcover, 272 pages. The offering of sacrifices, the banqueting of guests, and the ritual preparation, prohibition or consumption of food and drink were central elements in each of ancient Chinas three main religious traditions: the Classicist (Confucian) tradition, religious Daoism, and Buddhism. In Of Tripod and Palate, leading scholars examine the relationship between secular and religious food culture in ancient China from various perspectives.
