Being prepared in China, says one researcher, can mean "the
difference between a headache and a productive day." Acclaimed by
readers, this friendly and practical volume?now updated with
important new information?offers all the details academic visitors
need to make long-term stays in China productive, comfortable, and
fun. Academic opportunities have been revived in the years since
the Tiananmen Square event, and the book opens with an overview of
what we have learned from our academic exchanges with China, the
opportunities now available, and resources for more information. To
help visitors prepare for daily life, the book covers everything
from how to obtain the correct travel documents to what kinds of
snack foods are available in China, from securing accommodations to
having the proper gift for your Chinese dinner host. Frank
discussions on the research and academic environments in China will
help students, investigators, and teachers from their initial
assignment to a danwei, or work unit, to leaving the country with
research materials intact. The book offers practical guidelines on
working with Chinese academic institutions and research assistants,
arranging work-related travel, managing working relationships,
resolving language issues, and?perhaps most important?understanding
Chinese attitudes and customs toward study, research, and work
life. New material in this edition includes an expanded section on
science and social science field work, with a discussion of
computers: which ones work best in China, how to arrange to bring
your computer in, where to find parts and supplies, how to obtain
repairs, and more. Living costs, health issues, and addresses and
fax numbers for important services are updated. Guidance is offered
on currency, transportation, communications, bringing children into
China, and other issues. Based on the first-hand reports of
hundreds of academic visitors to China and original research by the
authors, this book will be useful to anyone planning to live and
work in China: students, researchers, and teachers and their
visiting family members, as well as business professionals. Table

This comprehensive, highly readable handbook simplifies the
sometimes complex aspects of day-to-day life in China. Based on the
experience of Americans who have recently studied, done research,
and taught there, China Bound gives the invaluable "inside"
information that only those who have been there can provide.
Written primarily for students, scholars, and teachers, the book
describes Chinese academic life and work and how Americans can fit
into it. And, because it covers such a broad spectrum of
topics--from customs regulations, taxation, and medical care to
hotel life and how to get laundry done--China Bound is also must
reading for anyone who is already planning or just trying to decide
whether to plan an extended visit to China. Academic Library Book
Review states, "China Bound is one of those books that is
absolutely essential."
