BROOK TIMOTHY
The Troubled Empire: China In The Yuan And Ming Dynasties
Belknap Press Cambridge: 2010. Softcover. Brand new book. The Mongol takeover in the 1270s changed the course of Chinese history. The Confucian empire�a millennium and a half in the making�was suddenly thrust under foreign occupation. What China had been before its reunification as the Yuan dynasty in 1279 was no longer what it would be in the future. Four centuries later another wave of steppe invaders would replace the Ming dynasty with yet another foreign occupation. The Troubled Empire explores what happened to China between these two dramatic invasions. If anything defined the complex dynamics of this period it was changes in the weather. Asia like Europe experienced a Little Ice Age and as temperatures fell in the thirteenth century Kublai Khan moved south into China. His Yuan dynasty collapsed in less than a century but Mongol values lived on in Ming institutions. A second blast of cold in the 1630s combined with drought was more than the dynasty could stand and the Ming fell to Manchu invaders. Against this background�the first coherent ecological history of China in this period�Timothy Brook explores the growth of autocracy social complexity and commercialization paying special attention to China's incorporation into the larger South China Sea economy. These changes not only shaped what China would become but contributed to the formation of the early modern world. 18 halftones 7 maps 3 tables. Timothy Brook is Professor of History and Republic of China Chair at the University of British Columbia. "Brook has given a readers a fast-paced intriguing account of the Yuan and Ming dynasties that will be read and enjoyed for many years to come."�David D. Buck Canadian Journal of History "Brook's ecological approach to China is both original and timely: for also China's rulers of today are faced with widespread social tension deriving from environmental calamity and natural catastrophe."�Tjalling Halbertsma Journal of Asian History "One of those rare works that appeal to both academic and general readers. Its readable prose and intriguing storytelling coupled with the emphasis on total history make it more accessible to students at different levels� The Troubled Empire is an outstanding macro study of the Yuan-Ming dynasties by a leading authority on Chinese history."�Wensheng Wang Journal of World History "This series on China brilliantly overseen by Timothy Brook is a credit to Harvard University Press. Above all it encourages us to think of China in different ways."�Jonathan Mirsky Literary Review "A broad and well-written overview of Chinese history from the thirteenth to the seventeenth century. Brook uses stories and anecdotes to illuminate historical trends with grace and skill. For those interested in Chinese history and for comparative historians this is a very useful book."�Peter Ditmanson University of Oxford Belknap Press, Cambridge: 2010 paperback

Collaboration: Japanese Agents and Local Elites in Wartime China
8vo, br. ed. pp. x-286. Studies of collaboration have changed how the history of World War II in Europe is written, but for China and Japan this aspect of wartime conduct has remained largely unknowledged. This text breaks the silence surrounding the sensitive topic of wartime collaboration between the Chinese and their Japanese occupiers.

Brook Timothy
The Confusions of Pleasure: Commerce and Culture in Ming China
8vo, br. ed. xxiv-320pp. The Ming dynasty was the last great Chinese dynasty before the Manchu conquest in 1644. During that time, China, not Europe, was the center of the world: the European voyages of exploration were searching not just for new lands but also for new trade routes to the Far East. In this book, Timothy Brook eloquently narrates the changing landscape of life over the three centuries of the Ming (1368-1644), when China was transformed from a closely administered agrarian realm into a place of commercial profits and intense competition for status. "The Confusions of Pleasure" marks a significant departure from the conventional ways in which Chinese history has been written. Rather than recounting the Ming dynasty in a series of political events and philosophical achievements, it narrates this longue duree in terms of the habits and strains of everyday life. Peppered with stories of real people and their negotiations of a rapidly changing world, this book provides a new way of seeing the Ming dynasty that not only contributes to the scholarly understanding of the period but also provides an entertaining and accessible introduction to Chinese history for anyone.

The Troubled Empire: China in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties (History of Imperial China)
8vo, br. ed. The Mongol takeover in the 1270s changed the course of Chinese history. The Confucian empire-a millennium and a half in the making-was suddenly thrust under foreign occupation. What China had been before its reunification as the Yuan dynasty in 1279 was no longer what it would be in the future. Four centuries later, another wave of steppe invaders would replace the Ming dynasty with yet another foreign occupation. The Troubled Empire explores what happened to China between these two dramatic invasions.If anything defined the complex dynamics of this period, it was changes in the weather. Asia, like Europe, experienced a Little Ice Age, and as temperatures fell in the thirteenth century, Kublai Khan moved south into China. His Yuan dynasty collapsed in less than a century, but Mongol values lived on in Ming institutions. A second blast of cold in the 1630s, combined with drought, was more than the dynasty could stand, and the Ming fell to Manchu invaders.Against this background-the first coherent ecological history of China in this period-Timothy Brook explores the growth of autocracy, social complexity, and commercialization, paying special attention to China's incorporation into the larger South China Sea economy. These changes not only shaped what China would become but contributed to the formation of the early modern world.

Brook Timothy and Gregory Blue, Editors
China And Historical Capitalism: Genealogies of Sinological Knowledge
8vo, cloth in dj. pp.304. addresses the historical relationship that has arisen between the concept of capitalism and the idea of China. Formulated by European intellectuals in order to identify the social formation in which they found themselves, capitalism was portrayed as unique to Europe and as an organic outgrowth of Western civilization. In this way, China was rejected as a model of civilization, and seen merely as despotic, feudal or stagnant. This Eurocentric judgement has hung over all subsequent thinking about China, even influencing Chinese perceptions of their own history. The aim of this collaborative project is to examine how the experience of capitalism as a European social formation and as a world-system has shaped knowledge of China. In addition the volume aims to establish new foundations on which a theory of Chinese society might be built, in order to perceive and understand Chinese development in less Eurocentric terms.
