"[A] landmark volume. . . . Equally significant as a contribution
to Chinese studies and to the fields of urban and empire studies
more broadly conceived, Chang'an 26 BCE is remarkable for its
success in bringing together the work of Chinese and US scholars,
and all in a series of very clear and engaging discussions of a
wide range of topics. . . . It is an astounding achievement, as
well as a beautifully illustrated object."
