周振鹤主编的《中国行政区划通史》可以说是从谭其骧先生主编的《中国历史地图集》以来,政区地理研究领域最为重要的成就。该书撰写难度大,出版周期长。对于此类卷帙浩繁的原创性学术著作,出版社尤其是具体负责的编辑要具有高度的责任心,充分发挥自身的能动性,确保整个项目能够逐步推进。 The “General History of China’s Administrative Zoning” edited by Zhou Zhenhe can be said to have been the most important achievement in the field of political geography since the “Atlas of Historical Chinese History” edited by Tan Qixia. The book writing difficult, long period of publication. For such voluminous original scholarly work, publishers, especially the responsible editors, should have a high sense of responsibility, give full play to their initiative and ensure that the entire project can be gradually promoted.
