A book about the material civilization of the Vietnamese people, by painter and fine arts researcher Phan Cam Thuong, has been made available to readers in Hanoi.

Entitled Van Minh Vat Chat Cua Nguoi Viet (Material Civilization of Vietnamese People), the book is the product of Thuong’s 20 years of research and six years of writing. The completed book has 664 pages. 

With 959 photos and 505 illustrations, the book features stories about several objects made and used by the Vietnamese people. 

Humans have created a material world and continue to shape this world, said the author. The material civilization of objects plays a significant role in the human development process. 

To collect the necessary material for the book, Thuong conducted several field studies in different regions across the country. He travelled from the northern Red River Delta, to the central and southern regions. He also visited China, Japan and the US for his research.
