Dear colleagues and friends, Hope you've been well. I'm sharing the new book announcement on behalf of Professor Charles Hartman. Congratulations, Charles! Sincerely, Ya Zuo Secretary, Society for Song, Yuan, and Conquest Dynasties Studies Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to announce the publication of my book, *Structures of Governance in Song Dynasty China, 960-1279 CE *(Cambridge, 2023). The Cambridge website contains the table of contents and additional details: https://www.cambridge.org/us/academic/subjects/history/east-asian-history/structures-governance-song-dynasty-china-9601279-ce?format=HB This volume continues my earlier work, *The Making of Song Dynasty History: Sources and Narratives*, which appeared in 2021, also at Cambridge. This earlier volume is now available in paperback at a (more or less) reasonable price*. Structures of Governance* will also be available in paperback in a year or so. A Chinese translation of *The Making of Song Dynasty History *by Professor Liu Yunjun刘云军 of Hebei University is now complete and will soon appear at 中国科学文献出版社. I am also pleased that 三联书店has contracted with Professor Liu for his translation of *Structures of Governance*. Within several years, therefore, both volumes should be available in excellent and reliable Chinese translations. Finally, for those of you attending The Third Middle Period China Humanities Conference at Yale in June, a roundtable discussion of *Structures of Governance* is planned for the agenda. I look forward to seeing many of you there. Take care, Charles Hartman
