      abstract = {The terra cotta army is one of the greatest, and most  famous, archaeological discoveries ever made. Over eight  thousand life-size figures of warriors and horses were  interred in the mausoleum of the first emperor of  China--and each figure is individually carved, perhaps  representing real members of the emperor's army. Weaving  together history and a first-hand account of his experience  in China, John Man tells the fascinating story of how and  why these astonishing figures were created in the third  century BC. In doing so, he gives a vivid account of early  China and the formation of its unique culture.--From  publisher description.},
