Publishing in Mainland China

In this unique study of the publishing of books and periodicals in Mainland China, Dr. Nunn offers an analysis of the process of generation of manuscripts, their publication, and their eventual distribution throughout China and the world. The period covered is from 1949 to the end of 1964, with particular reference to publications in the natural, applied, and social sciences. In Communist China, where the output and subject matter of books and periodicals are carefully controlled, what is published is a most valuable indicator of government policy.
