"The following year Qin unified all under Heaven and the title of August Emperor was immediately adopted." The short-lived Qin dynasty unified China in 221 BC and created an imperial legacy that lasted until 1911. The extraordinary story of the First Emperor, founder of the dynasty, is told in the Historical Records of Sima Qian, the Grand Historiographer and the most famous Chinese historian. He describes the Emperor's birth and the assassination attempt on his life, as well as the political and often brutal events that led to the founding of the dynasty and its aftermath. Sima Qian recounts the building of the Great Wall, the "burning of the books", and the construction of the First Emperor's magnificent tomb, a tomb now world famous since the discovery of the terracotta warriors in 1974. Sima Qian's love of anecdote ensures that his history is never dull, and Raymond Dawson's fluent translation captures his lively and vivid style.

Gorgeous Tiffany-Blue & Perfect for Travel
I absolutely adore this little jewelry case. I don’t have a huge jewelry collection, so the size is perfect for me. It keeps everything organized without being bulky.
The zipper feels very sturdy and smooth — not flimsy at all.
And for anyone who loves Tiffany’s blue… the color is almost an exact match. I can set it next to my Tiffany box and it’s nearly identical. It’s such a pretty, luxe-looking shade.
Highly recommend.

Convenient
This is great to take with you if you’re going out of town. It’s easier to keep track of your jewelry. It doesn’t take up much room, but holds several rings earrings and three necklaces.
