Synopsis
Metalworking in Bronze Age China is the first study that adopts a comprehensive, thorough, and interdisciplinary approach toward early Chinese lost-wax castings. It shows that the dominant belief that the lost-wax process as the optimal method for casting bronzes deserves more rigorous examination. In a broader sense, the book provides a study on the "norms," which are seldom questioned. By examining the reasons why Chinese founders often chose not to use the lost-wax process they had clearly mastered, the book refutes the idea that lost-wax technology is the only "right way" to cast bronzes. This study demonstrates that a "norm" is in many ways an illusion that twists our comprehension of art, technology, civilization, and history. This book is in the Cambria Sinophone World Series, headed by Victor Mair (University of Pennsylvania). *Includes 225 images.

    Shipping was very fast. Packaging was very well done. Book is in Very Good condition, as advertised. I wasn't too worried there wasn't a photograph of the book, as the reviews speak highly of this shop. The price was awesome. I've very pleased with this transaction. Trustworthy, professional seller.

    As described and shipped promptly, but the corners were badly deformed and crushed because it was shipped in a thin plastic mailer. I forgot my own rule - always ask seller to protect a book that is old, signed, first edition, rare or valuable for some other reason. 👍
