nder the Mughals, A. D. 1550 to A. D. 1750 (Oxford, 1924) 提供了对伟大的莫卧儿皇帝统治下的印度文化的深刻见解。我对这个帝国的历史所知不多，但是它的创立者的回忆录，Annette S. Beveridge, tr., Babur’s Memoirs, 4 vols. (London, 1912—21) 是令人愉快的。W. H. Moreland的两部著作：India at the Death of Akbar: An Economic Study (London, 1920); From Akbar to Aurangzeb, A Study in Indian Economic History (London, 1923); 和M. Athar Ali, The Mughal Nobility under Aurangzeb (New York, 1966)是有帮助的。还可参见Richard G. Fox, Kin, Clan, Raja and Rule: State-Hinterland Relations in Preindustrial India (Berkeley, 1971).
中国和日本。E. O. Reischauer, J. K. Fairbank, and A. M. Craig, East Asia: Tradition and Transformation (Boston, 1973) 和George M. Beckman, The Modernization of China and Japan (New York, 1962)提供了远东现代历史的概述。Immanuel Hsu, The Rise of Modern China, 2nd ed. (New York, 1975) 是对近来中国历史的最好概论。Charles R. Boxer, Fidalgos in the Far East, 1550—1700 (Hague, 1948) 熟练地论述了葡萄牙的作用。关于基督教传教士，参见：Kenneth Scott Latourette, A History of Christian Missions in China (New York, 1929) 和Arnold H. Rowbotham, Missionary and Mandarin: The Jesuits at the Court of China (Berkeley, 1942). 关于政府，见 Franz Michael, The Origin of Manchu Rule in China (Baltimore, 1942) 和Etienne Balazs, Political Theory and Administrative Reality in Traditional China (London, 1965). Jonathan Spence, The Death of Woman Wang (New York, 1978)是中华帝国晚期下层社会生活的形象描述。Ping-ti Ho, Studies on the Population of China, 1368—1953 (Cambridge, 1959); 同一作者的The Ladder of Success in Imperial China: Aspects of Social Mobility, 1368—1911 (New York, 1962); Chung-li Chang, The Chinese Gentry: Studies in their Role in Nineteenth Century Chinese Society (Seattle, 1955); 和Hsiao-t’ung Fei, Peasant Life in China: A Field Study of Country Life in the Yangtze Valley (New York, 1946) 都论述了最近几个世纪中国社会的秩序和无序问题。关于技术，Sun E-tu Zen and Sun S. C., Chinese Technology in the Seventeenth Century (University Park, Pa., 1966). Theodore de Bary, ed., Sources of Chinese Tradition (New York, 1966) 是按照年代和主题顺序编辑的文献翻译汇编，非常有用。John K.
