Description: Title: China, Japan and The Powers Author: Meribeth E Cameron (Professor of History Mount Holyoke College; Thomas H.D. Mahoney (Associate Professor of History, M.I.T.); George E. McReynolds (Professor of History University of Connecticut) Publisher: Ronald Press (1952) Description:Pre and Post World War II detailed analysis of China and Japan and relations with others mostly the USA. Fascinating and prescient view of how the east would rise in power. The communist threat is at its earliest stages. Book has multiple maps. Though in my view it does not detract from the book greatly there is very neatly penciled and penned marginalia and underlined passages throughout many of the pages of the book by a past academic owner. In my opinion the marginalia's comments make it more interesting to read. Other than that the book is in very nice shape for being 72 years old. Because of the writing within the book, this book is being sold as-is.

We may upgrade your package at our discretion to USPS Ground Advantage. Package will be shipped within 4 business days after payment - usually faster. The USPS can be notoriously slow, it could take 2-3 weeks for delivery. Please take that into account when leaving feedback, that we will ship quickly, but the USPS can take a long time to deliver, and we have no control over delivery time. Why Shipping Costs Are What They Are: eBay users may note that postal rates increased AGAIN on July 14, 2024. That's EIGHT price hikes in 4 years. This was the largest single price increase ever: 10% on media mail. USPS shipping is getting expensive, but eBay also charges sellers 15% on the shipping cost (+ the taxes), in addition to the actual package shipping cost. That fact and the USPS business model has made shipping prices rise quite a bit since 2019. In 2019 a one pound package sent via media mail cost $2.75. Today it is 68% more to send the same package. This is all part of the bi-annual price increases starting in 2020 & the misguided USPS 10 Year Plan - “Delivering For America,” implemented in 2021 which twice per year, every year until 2030 will keep increasing rates, while the USPS continues to lose billions of dollars. Combined Shipping if you Buy or Win Multiple Auctions Multiple book/media auction wins will qualify for combined shipping when possible. Do not pay until auctions you are bidding on are complete. Email to let us know that you will be bidding or have won more than one item. A revised combined invoice will then be sent after you tell us you are done bidding. Otherwise, if you pay before all auctions are complete or pay separately - combined shipping is not available. Sales Tax: If your state has sales tax, it is collected by eBay & then paid to your state tax authority. Sellers do not make money from this but are charged a percentage by eBay on the total sale including tax – insane, but true. Returns No returns. We describe all items conservatively. However, If there is a problem, message us through eBay messages to let us know what the issue is before contacting eBay or initiating a return or leaving feedback and we will work it out.
