China, the United Nations and World Order. By Samuel S. Kim. [New Jersey and Surrey: Princeton University Press, 1979, 581 pp. Hardback $32.50. Paperback $12.50.]

Ulmen's Society and History grew out of what was originally intended as the introduction to a Wittfogel Festschrift. This Festschrift has appeared separately as Science and Society. It includes contributions (some in Spanish or German) by sociologists, anthropologists, historians, linguists and political scientists a tribute to the remarkable diversity of Wittfogel's academic interests. But this diversity is also the book's main weakness: few of the contributors relate their articles to Wittfogel as a central unifying focus, and the volume lacks substantial unity. The collecting of these 29 articles (four of which relate to modern China) began in 1964, but the volume was not published until 1978. The articles are therefore not related to recent scholarship, which reduces their value somewhat. Parts of the volume are marred by mistranscriptions and printing errors: one article spells Deng Zihui in no less than three different ways.
