1. Jesse J. Chapman

Celestial Signs and Classical Rhetoric in Early Imperial China

"Chapman's approach to omens in early China is original, persuasive, and significant. His principal claim is that the interpretation of omens—'sign-reading'—was in the hands of specialists in the Warring States and earlier periods but became a part of the intellectual and political equipment of the emerging class of classically-trained scholar-officials during the Han period. Well organized and well written, this book will be welcomed by scholars in the field of early China." — John S. Major, coauthor of Ancient China: A History
