Summary:	Annotation Sterckx (Chinese studies, U. of Cambridge) is not interested in the same sort of animals as zoo-historians, archaeologists, fabulists, or literary critics, but in the perceptions of animals and the animal world as a signifying exponent of the world of thought in Warring States and early imperial China. He uses animals as windows into early Chinese views of the world. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
