Lanham, MD; New York; Oxford: University Press of America, Inc., 2000. xxii, 6 pp. Hardcover 62.00, isbn 0­768­868­5. Until recently there were only a few book chapters and journal articles in English that even breached the subject of the history of Chinese Daoism. Two previous works that attempted to fill the void concerning the history of Daoism were Stephen R. Bokenkamp, Early Daoist Scriptures (Berkeley: University of California Press, 997) and Isabelle Robinet, Taoism: Growth of a Religion (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 997). David Yu's translation of volume of this four-volume work on the history of Daoism is very much welcomed. History of Chinese Daoism contains a table of Chinese dynasties, a preface, an introduction, and four long multisectioned chapters covering the early formative period of Daoism from the Warring States (403­22 b.c.e.) up to the reunification of the empire and founding of the Sui dynasty (58­68). The text also contains a "Glossary of Chinese Characters," 40 pages of notes, 5 pages of bibliography, and 0 pages of index.
