Ecology of greenways
What a momentous book on Chinese culture and literature. This is a VERY geeky book, but if you're into mythology and how different cosmological models permeate all of Chinese culture, this is a fantastic book to start with.
I won't lie, at some points, it was a little bit tedious, but mostly because of the sheer amount of information Campany cramps into it. However, his insights and the way he connects and digs deeper into the usefulness of such anomaly texts are invaluable.
Definitely, a must-read for people in classic Chinese translation or interested in medieval China and beyond.
