Description

Despite China's clear and growing importance on the world stage, it remains often and easily misunderstood.

Indeed, there are many Chinas, as this comprehensive survey, the most current and authoritative introduction available, vividly illustrates.

Now in a thoroughly revised and updated edition, this text traces the changes occurring in this powerful and ancient nation across both time and space.

Beginning with China's diverse landscapes and environments, and continuing through its formative history and tumultuous recent past, the authors show contemporary China as a product of both internal and external forces.

They consider historical and current successes and difficulties, including economic, political, cultural, and environmental challenges, while placing China in its international context as a massive, developing, diverse nation that is meeting the needs of its 1.4 billion citizens while becoming an aggressive major regional and global player.

Through clear prose and 160 insightful maps, tables, and photos, China's Geography illustrates and explains the great economic, political, and social differences found throughout China's many regions. Accompanying the book is a companion website that provides a wealth of additional materials, including sample lectures, color versions of all the graphics, time series and provincial data files for student projects in Excel, lists of favorite films and websites, and public domain maps for student use.
