> The Southern Tang was one of China's minor dynasties and one of the
> great states in China in the tenth century. Although often regarded as
> one of several states preceding the much better known Song dynasty
> (960-1279), the Southern Tang dynasty was in fact the key state in
> this period, preserving cultural values and artefacts from the former
> great Tang dynasty (618-907) that were to form the basis of Song rule
> and thereby presenting the Song with a direct link to the Tang and its
> traditions.
>
> Drawing mainly on primary Chinese sources, this is the first book in
> English to provide a comprehensive overview of the Southern Tang and
> full coverage of the military, cultural and political history of the
> period. It focuses on a successful, albeit short-lived, attempt to set
> up an independent regional state in the modern provinces of Jiangxi
> and Jiangsu and establishes the Southern Tang dynasty in its own
> right. It follows the rise of the Southern Tang state to become the
> predominant claimant of the Tang heritage and the expansionist
> policies of the second ruler, culminating in the occupation and
> annexation of two of the Southern Tang's neighbours, Min (Fujian) and
> Chu (Hunan). Finally, the narrative describes the decline of the
> dynasty under its last ruler, the famous poet Li Yu, and its ultimate
> surrender to the Song dynasty.

> I am pleased to announce the publication of _Religion and the Making of

>
> This book sets out to explain how religion has influenced the political,
> social, and economic transformation of Asia from the fourteenth century to
> the present day. Crossing a broad terrain from Tokyo to Tibet, the book
> highlights long-term trends and key moments, such as the expulsion of
> Catholic missionaries from Japan, or the Taiping Rebellion in China, when
> religion dramatically transformed the political fate of a nation.
> Contemporary chapters reflect on the wartime deification of the Japanese
> emperor, Marxism as religion, the persecution of the Dalai Lama, and the
> fate of Asian religion in a globalized world.
>
> _Religion and the Making of Modern East Asia_ is number eight in the "New
> Approaches to Asian History" series by Cambridge University Press. The
> series aims to present historical scholarship in a style that is
> accessible to experts and lay readers alike.
>
> An introduction to the series (plus a link to the book) is available at
