This study of relations between Sung China (960-1279) and Kitan Liao (916-1125), a state on Sung's northern border, is both a military and diplomatic history and a history of diplomacy.

This in-depth encyclopedia covers the entire history of American poverty from every angle-historical, social, cultural, political, spiritual, and literary. How has poverty been defined i |
