In modern China, globalization, technology, reform, and historical
tradition have combined to create a dynamic and diverse country,
where free-market forces coexist with Communism and individuals
seek their fortunes. Yet while China soars, many in the West harbor
a growing suspicion of its intentions. What does China's economic
muscle portend for the rest of the world? Will a strong China be
peaceful or aggressive? A China Primer for Students answers these
questions and provides students with a greater understanding of
this populous nation. It also helps students discern where China
fits in the global framework and how it influences the
international community. This book provides a chronological history
of China from the Neolithic Age to the present, including major
challenges, and current political developments.
The Middle East is a region in search of itself and the outcome of
this struggle will profoundly impact America and the world. But
what are Middle Easterners searching for and why has that search
been mired in conflict and strife in recent times? Most Americans
know the Middle East only as a crucible where images of war flash
across televisions and cover the front pages of newspapers. Yet, it
is much more than the conflict beamed into our homes via satellite
television. The Middle East nurtured civilization from its infancy,
hosts a rich dichotomy of peoples, traditions, and religions, and
once led the world in technological, scientific, and artistic
innovation. This book will give students a basic understanding of
the Middle East, its history, geography, monotheistic religions,
economics, and the challenges it faces. In addition, the author
aims to show how the region's history continues to resonate and why
America and other countries would want to fight two wars in the
region in 1991 and again in 2003. This primer will also help
students understand where the Middle East fits into the modern
world and how important the region is to world stability and
prosperity.Includes a: Middle East timeline, Internet resources,
bibliography, glossary. For high school students (ninth-tenth
grade) and teachers with an interest in world history.
