[Nicola · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good archaeological references with images and well researched text. Slightly old but still relevant.

[Zexas · Rating 4 out of 5]

The intro probably is the best chapter. But in general a good discussion on monumentality. It's a little bit old now (in terms of theoretical framework) but worth reading.

Great introductory material to Chinese art history.
