A New Era Begins 1975-78

books will be published to help facilitate the use o f English and Chinese as the media o f instruction and general communication in the University. Cooperative Publishing Projects The Chinese University Press has published over the years a number o f books in cooperation wi th university presses and scholarly institutions abroad. Among these are “The Cradle of the East" (Chicago University Press); "Vignettes from the Late Ch'ing: Bizarre Happenings Eyewitnessed over Two Decades" (Center of Asian Studies, St. John's University); “The Life and Thought of Yeh Shih" (University Presses of Florida); “Festivals in Classical China" (Princeton University Press); “Later Mohist Logic, Ethics and Science" (School of Oriental and African Studies, University o f London); and “Cold Nights" (University o f Washington Press). Particularly noteworthy, perhaps, is the publication in 1978 of “ A Sung Bibliography", wi th the financial aid of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, France. It is the third and remaining component o f the important international project for the publication of a dynastic handbook of the Sung era which was started by Prof. Etienne Balazs of CNRS in 1954. The 600 pages Bibliography includes 660 items contributed by 80 international sinologists. Together w i th the other two parts o f the project: “Introduction——Generalities" and "Biographies", " A Sung Bibliography" will, for practical rather than methodological reasons, make available to those who engaged in research all that it is useful to know about the Sung Dynasty.
