Books in the Harvard-Yenching Institute Monograph series

Structures of the Earth is the first study of the emergent genre of geographical writing and the metageographies that structured its spatial thought during the "Age of Disunion" and continue to illuminate spatial complexities that have been incompatible with the imperial and nationalist ideal of a monolithic China at the center of the world.

Celestial Masters is the first book in any Western language devoted solely to the founding of Daoism. It traces the movement from the mid-second century CE through the sixth century, and provides a detailed analysis of ritual life within the movement, covering the roles of common believer or Daoist citizen, novice, and priest or libationer.
