Students have said that they overwhelmingly prefer timelines as a way to summarize the events and key elements of each chapter. More than 90 new photographs help explain key concepts of the text, and fuller captions on most pictures make them more valuable to students.

Chapter 7, on Daoism and Confucianism, makes a clearer, more separated presentation of these two religions. Each chapter now includes a treatment of funerals, giving insight into a key ritual and the religions’ teachings about life after death.
