I read over and over again but i still can't find the answers to the following:

How did China's geography affect its early history? Consider both the regions within China, and China's relationship to the rest of the world.

How did the Shang and Zhou religions differ? How did each religion give a specialrole to the king?

Expertise

Along with teaching classical Literature for over thirty-eight years, I have also taught history of the Greco-Roman cultures. History and Mythology are, in my opinion, inseparable; it is necessary to have a background in both to have a clear understanding of both ends of the spectrum, the myth and the fact.

Experience

Thirty-eight years of teaching.
