Abstract

292 past will condition the future development of Thai society. The book does not reflect the modern historian's search for a balanced view of history which could explain more clearly the present conditions existing in society. This in turn may help guide Thailand towards a better and just future. Cornell University Ithaca, U.S.A.

This volume presents ten of the papers delivered at a symposium organized by the Los Angeles County Museum in 1981 to celebrate the exhibit "The Great Bronze Age of China." Appropriately, the first paper is K. C. Chang's discussion of recent theories concerning the origins of the Bronze Age civilization.
