Default Grant Hardy book on Imperial China

http://www.amazon.com/Establishment-...3528622&sr=1-5


Does this mean that Hardy is prominent in research on topics not necessarily germane to Mormonism so that when he turns his eyes to his own religion, he will have more credibility?

Is the book peer-reviewed? Is it well-received within his discipline? One book does not a scholar make.

Upon further examination it's a high-school text. The glossary has the definition of a dynasty.

I'm not sure that academic expertise in another field will give me much credibility in dealing with the Book of Mormon, but you're looking at the wrong book. The Establishment of the Han Empire and Imperial China is part of a series aimed at high school and lower-division college students; it's not a scholarly work. But Worlds of Bronze and Bamboo (1999) was a peer-reviewed monograph published by one of the most prestigious academic presses in the country (Columbia UP) and was positively reviewed in international journals. And I was the co-editor (along with a scholar from Princeton) of the first volume of the Oxford History of Historical Writing, which was published earlier this year.

Chino, that would be easier if you just put in the characters. Or at least put in 1's, 2's, 3's and 4's please.
