AP World History: Need info about Chinese Dynasties

[woad&fangs]

I'm studying for the Advanced Placement: World History exam on my own time because my school doesn't offer the class. If I pass the exam in May then I will receive college credit in the subject.

I was wondering if anyone knows about good online resources for the various Chinese dynasties. This is the part of the world that I know the least about. I'm mostly looking for an overview of the rise, fall, arts, important people, and culture of each dynasty.

Good sites about the rise of Islam/crusades would also be appreciated.

One question: What is "Advanced Placement"?

When I was in High School (many, many, years ago), it was a program that allowed a student to take advanced courses, then test for early college credit. Allowed exceptional students to advance more rapidly than their less-motivated peers.
