  Book of Later Han - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Book of Later Han (Chinese: 後漢書/后汉书) is one of the official Chinese historical works which was compiled by Fan Ye in the 5th century, using a number of earlier histories and documents as sources.
The book is part of early four historiographies of the Twenty-Four Histories canon, together with the Records of the Grand Historian, Book of Han and Records of Three Kingdoms.
The final 30 volumes of the book, which taken from the Sequel of the Book of Han, a work composed by Sima Biao in the 3rd century, were added in the 6th century by Liu Zhao during his annotation.

 Book of Han - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Book of Han (Chinese: 漢書/汉书) is a classic Chinese historical writing covering the history of Western Han from 206 BC to 25.
It is also sometimes called Book of Former Han in order to distinguish it from the Book of Later Han, which covers the Eastern Han from 25 to 220, composed in the 5th century.
The book set the format for the writings of later Chinese dynasties, and today it is a reference used to study the Han period.

 Beatrice Han - Foucault's Critical Project - Reviewed by Gary Gutting, University of Notre Dame - Philosophical Reviews ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Han's second difficulty derives from the fact that Foucault in effect defines the conditions for the reality of statements in terms of the rules that govern their use.
Han thinks this move avoids the difficulties she raised regarding the historical a priori of archaeology, and she applauds Foucault's genealogical focus on truth (rather than mere discourse in itself) as well as his intimate connection of knowledge with power via the notion of a “regime of truth”.
Han, however, maintains that Foucault's subject is a transcendental ego: “Foucault reactivates the perspective of a constitutive subjectivity and understands the constitution of the self by means of the atemporal structure of recognition” (187), a position that, as she notes, is obviously inconsistent with his earlier work, both archaeological and genealogical.

 RebeccasReads.com Book Review, Our Twisted Hero
Thirty years ago Han Pyongt'ae was a twelve-year old new boy in a rural school, with all the city-dweller's condemnation of country-folk; no friends or brothers and an aging, ineffectual teacher who prefers the well-ordered room of 62 students which the class monitor controls with an insidious and implacable tyranny.
In a sudden turn of fortune his family had been banished from sophisticated Seoul, the capital of Korea, to a drab country town, just because his father didn't give the proper respect to a visiting inspector.
In his naivete he imagines the teacher eager to put a stop to this bully's means of keeping order, however, the teacher is inept, suspicious and secretly prefers the status quo.

I liked this book because it was very well written and had a good plot, but I don't think it was very true to Star Wars because I don't think Han Solo would have done anything like that.
