Despite China's obvious and growing importance on the world stage,
it remains often and easily misunderstood. Perhaps this is due in
part to the pace of the nation's remarkable rise and the many
economic, political, and environmental problems that have
accompanied its growth. Indeed, there are many Chinas, as this
comprehensive survey of contemporary China vividly illustrates. Now
in a thoroughly revised and updated third edition that offers the
only all-embracing geography of the reform era, this book 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 present contemporary China as a
product of both internal and external forces of past and present.
They consider past and present successes and difficulties,
including environmental challenges, while placing China in its
international context as a massive, still-developing nation that
must meet the needs of its 1.4 billion citizens while becoming a
major regional and global player. Through clear prose and140
insightful maps, tables, and photos, China's Geography illustrates
and explains the great differences in economy, politics, and
society found throughout China's many regions. Full-color versions
of all the maps, figures, and photographs in the book are available
on the China's Geography website at
http://chinadatacenter.org/chinageography, along with a number of
additional maps and data sets that can be used for class exercises
or as the basis for student research papers and presentations. The
site also offers links to the authors' favorite YouTube videos,
sources of statistical data on China, and an on-line mapping
website.
