The mighty Yangtze River - the third-longest river in the world -
is the birthplace of Chinese civilization. This intriguing book
takes readers along this ancient transportation route, strategic
natural boundary, and lifeblood of an agricultural society. The
river flows eastward from the Tibetan Plateau, crossing thousands
of miles before emptying into the East China Sea. Today, the river
basin is home to about one-third of China's population. The near
completion of the Three Gorges Dam has displaced more than a
million people and changed the river's ecosystem dramatically.
Built to control flooding, make the river more navigable, and
supply energy, some fear it will harm the region's environment.
