Conventionally, historians view the 1911 Revolution in China through the activities of professional revolutionaries led by Sun Yat-sen, and they see these revolutoinaries' propaganda and organizing activities as eventually leading to the Wuchang Uprising on October 10, 1911. Reform and Revolution in China challenges that view, arguing that the origins of the revolution must be sought within China, not among the revolutionaries abroad. The internal origins of the revolution began with the New Policy reforms in the late Qing, which created new opportunities for students, intellectuals, gentry, merchants, journalists, and other urban elites as well as junior officers in the New Army to mobilize. When a revolutionary moment arrived in 1911, people in these stations were able to move from collective action to the overthrow of the Qing regime. Further, they were motivated to do so because of a threat of disorder from the lower classes, since the reforms had also imposed burdens on the poorer classes that many found intolerable. The result was significant popular opposition to the reforms, including a major riot in Changsha in 1910. This helped the civil and military elites unite behind the revolution in 1911, forming an essentially conservative alliance to preserve social order even though the Qing would have to fall.

Joseph Esherick was arguably the foremost San Francisco architect from the 1960s until his death in the late 1990s, following in the wake of William Wurster. Esherick established his own practice in the late 1940s and the firm produced a continuous stream of laudable buildings, among them houses appropriate to their site and times. Affected less by national and international fashion than by the exigencies of local climate, social demands, and suitable technology, Esherick produced a large number of truly classic residences.

The fall of empires and the rise of nation-states was a defining political transition in the making of the modern world. As United States imperialism becomes a popular focus of debate, we must understand how empire, the nineteenth century's dominant form of large-scale political organization, had disappeared by the end of the twentieth century. Here, ten prominent specialists discuss the empire-to-nation transition in comparative perspective. Chapters on Latin America, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Russia, and China illustrate both the common features and the diversity of the transition. Questioning the sharpness of the break implied by the empire/nation binary, the contributors explore the many ways in which empires were often nation-like and nations behaved imperially. While previous studies have focused on the rise and fall of empires or on nationalism and the process of nation-building, this intriguing volume concentrates on the empire-to-nation transition itself. Understanding this transition allows us to better interpret the contemporary political order and new forms of global hegemony.
