Found a new copy of this on eBay for a full $20 less than the same thing on Amazon - so good reminder that it's still worth checking eBay before hitting that "buy" button elsewhere!

The description of Pundits is very detailed, focusing on the literary description of their investigations , and the evaluation of his investigation results combined with the views of later generations, mainly reflected in his accuracy and praise for him. And there is a detailed 'debate' about whether to publish the reports of the pundits, which the author used lots of government documents.It's interesting to read and that is something which other studies have neglected.
But it mainly records the results of geographical investigation, while other information (such as economy and trade, etc.) plays no role in the results of investigation
