Richard J. Smith is the George and Nancy Rupp Professor of Humanities and Professor of History at Rice University, USA

"Mapping China and Managing the World should prove a useful work for those who study China’s cultural and social history as well as the global history of cultural exchange. [...] Smith’s additions to his previous work and responses to other scholarship make Mapping China and Managing the World valuable both for those not already familiar with his previous scholarship and for those who are particularly interested in it. Additionally, instructors would do well to consult this work when preparing lectures on Chinese cosmology and when considering readings to assign to students, given the accessibility of the book and the number of useful illustrations in the chapters on the Yijing and Chinese cartography." - Daniel Knorr, University of Chicago, Journal of International and Global Studies
