Summary

This accessible and engaging new edition continues to be one of the leading introductory textbooks on Korean history. Fully revised throughout, the author takes a thematic and chronological approach to guide listeners from early state formation and the dynastic eras to the modern experience. Episodic accounts in each chapter are discussed in context with extensive examination of how the events and themes under consideration have been viewed up to the present day. By discussing recurring themes such as collective identity, external influence, social hierarchy, and family and gender, the author introduces the major historical events, patterns, and debates that have shaped both North and South Korea over the past 1,500 years.

This textbook is essential for undergraduate and postgraduate students of history and those studying Korean or Asian history in particular. The first half of the book covers the pre-20th-century era, and the second half covers the modern era, reflecting the structure of most Korean history courses.

As long as it is not as it's Big Brother it is fine. However and as Reader can see, it is dynastical rullership and it could be akin to its Big Brother.

Basically God is trying to teach them something. They have a place to go shopping. Drive through.

That being said.... Ah, well
