{"product_id":"book-yyvr","title":"To Rule All Under Heaven","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe first ever comprehensive history in English of China's Warring States period, an era that saw epic battles, the birth of profound philosophies, groundbreaking innovations, and shaped much of East Asian culture as we know it today.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Warring States period saw the emergence of Confucianism and Daoism, the composition of seminal texts such as \u003ci\u003eThe Art of War by Master Sun\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eBook of Changes\u003c\/i\u003e, and the codification of Chinese script into its current form. It also saw the initial building of the Great Wall and the canal system that would become the Grand Canal, as well as the invention of the crossbow—which would not be invented in Europe for another 1,500 years—and the origin of acupuncture and feng shui.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Persian Wars and the conquests of Alexander the Great are well known to people in Europe and America; however, far fewer English-language books have attempted to cover this same and equally important period in East Asia. \u003ci\u003eTo Rule All under Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e corrects this imbalance by recounting a detailed history that is replete with dramatic stories and characters. The result is a thorough and entertaining account of one of the most fertile and significant periods in world history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Highbridge Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":50759270957360,"sku":"BDyyvr","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":50759270891824,"sku":"ZEyyvr","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":50759270924592,"sku":"ZMyyvr","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/yyvr-Square-cover.jpg?v=1773972575","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-yyvr","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
