   • The Art of War. Sun Tzu | 5.00. For more than two thousand years, The Art of War has stood as a cornerstone of Chinese culture-a lucid epigrammatic text that reveals as much about human psychology, politics, and economics as it does about battlefield strategy.
   • Wild Swans. Three Daughters of China. Jung Chang | 4.68. Three remarkable women--grandmother, mother, and daughter--struggle to survive in a true-life saga that spans 20th-century China with all its violence: wars, invasions, revolution, and continuing upheaval.
   • Mao. Jung Chang, Jon Halliday | 4.48. Based on a decade of research, and on interviews with many of Mao's close circle in China who have never talked before - and with virtually everyone outside China who had significant dealings with him - this is the most authoritative life of Mao ever written.
   • Tao Te Ching. By Lao Tzu - Illustrated. Lao Tse | 4.47. A lucid translation of the well-known Taoist classic by a leading scholar-now in a Shambhala Pocket Library edition.
