The hill is sandy, rock-strewn, entirely unprepossessing in appearance. Yet it happens to be one of the most exciting archaeological sites in the world, a 160 foot high mound composed of the ruins of ancient cities layered one on top of the other. Beneath its rough contours lie no fewer than 10 Troys, spanning 3500 years of history from the Early Bronze Age to Roman times.

What's great about these What Life Was Like books is that they always show a slice of life in a historical time period with lots of pictures for context. This installment about Imperial China was certainly interesting and informative, but it didn't really showcase what life was like so much as give a history lesson about Song Dynasty politics.

Usually, in these books, readers learn about people at different rungs of the social ladder. However, in Imperial China, users mostly read about the poets and politicians who either supported or criticized the Song Dynasty rulers. Note: a lot of people go into exile in this book.

That said, Imperial China does do a great job of laying out the principles and philosophies that the intellectuals of the Song Dynasty valued. You learn about the layout and character of different cities and regions of China. This can give a sense that you're learning what "daily life" was like, but the reader is only given a vague sense of that, unless you're reading about an exiled poet/politician.

This is still worth reading if you're interested in Imperial China. It's a good intro, if nothing else. Just be aware that there isn't much to learn about clothing or food or transportation here.

I picked up this book after watching the short docu-series on Netflix called Age of Samurai: Battle for Japan. The series was fascinating, and I wanted to learn more about the lifestyles of these larger than life figures. This book by Dersin seemed like the best introduction, being brief, full of pictures, but still covering a lot of ground. There's so much to impart that the iconic Oda Nobunaga, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu only appear near the end of this book. Samurai and Shoguns does not only discuss the daily lives of these figures, but it also does a lot to setup up the world they inhabit and gives added dimension to their motives. This book is thought-provoking, informative, but also entertaining to read about.

Unlike Dersin's other book in this series about Imperial China, Samurai and Shoguns delves into the daily lives of its characters. You learn about the fashions of the people, as well as the women who helped shape the empire of Japan. You learn about how the merchant class organized themselves into guilds alongside learning about historic battles. Overall, Dersin does a much better job here of painting a complete picture of 16th-17th century Japanese society, to the point where users can imagine it for themselves.

If you're interested in this period of Japanese history, I highly recommend both the book and the docu-series. Together, the two paint a really compelling and complex picture of medieval Japan that is truly incomparable.

If you want to know anything about the Italian Renaissance, you MUST read this book. It's so comprehensive. You learn everything about how women from different social classes behaved, how houses were divided, the various ruling families, and the famous persons of the day, whether they be popes or painters. There's not subject untouched in this book. It's a quick read, accessible to all ages, with plenty of pictures to give context to what's written on the page. It's a beautiful book and well worth it.… (más)
