		Ping-ti Ho, "Pottery," in Ping-ti Ho, The Cradle of the East: An Inquiry into the Indigenous Origins of Techniques and Ideas of Neolithic and Early Historic China, 5000-1000 B.C. (Hong Kong, Chicago, and London: The Chinese University Publications and The University of Chicago Press, 1975), 121-175.
		While much has been accomplished in archaeology since Edmund Capon wrote Art and Archaeology in China (Melbourne and Sydney: Melbourne and Sydney, 1977), the sections titled "Archaeology in China," and "Paleolithic and Neolithic," on pages 30-53 offer informative and useful insights in Chinese culture prior to the introduction of bronze.
		Clearly, by the fifth millennium BCE China was developing the basic elements that were to identify it as a civilization: social structure, agricultural skills, the domestication of animals as well as concepts related to the order of the natural environment, and to life, death, and life after death.

		Since modern blues has become so popular in the worldwide markets, many artists from other countries have come to Chicago to study blues music. What once was a music defined by one culture, blues music has made an important transition into a culture in itself.

		The international fame of blues music was created through interesting circumstances. In the fifties and sixties, live music was very popular, and live blues performances were well received all over Chicago.

	Introduction to Modern Literary Theory
		A literary movement that started in the late 1920s and 1930s and originated in reaction to traditional criticism that new critics saw as largely concerned with matters extraneous to the text, e.g., with the biography or psychology of the author or the work's relationship to literary history.
		Both Lacan and his critics argue whether the real order represents the period before the imaginary order when a child is completely fulfilled--without need or lack, or if the real order follows the symbolic order and represents our "perennial lack" (because we cannot return to the state of wholeness that existed before language).
		Psychoanalytic criticism may focus on the writer's psyche, the study of the creative process, the study of psychological types and principles present within works of literature, or the effects of literature upon its readers (Wellek and Warren, p.
