Jonathan Spence was president of the American Historical Association for the 2004-2005 term. Recognized as one of the foremost scholars of Chinese civilization from the 16th century to the present, Spence has written extensively on the role of history in shaping modern China. His critically acclaimed ''The Search for Modern China'' has become one of the standard texts on the last several hundred years of Chinese history. His recent works include a biography of Mao Zedong and '' Treason By The Book '', exploring an intriguing episode of 18th-century history. Spence was educated at Clare College, Cambridge and holds a bachelor's degree from Cambridge University and master's and doctoral degrees from Yale. EXTERNAL LINKS
