Brief History of Chinese Civilization - Very Useful Survey

I found this a well indexed book to support a course in the History of Chinese Civilization (as a student) - easy to digest but with rich illustration of pieceds of art etc.Good text for a first year CHinese or Asian history course or for background to language and culture.
