Review:
Combining scholarship and accessibility, this informative analysis gives an updated, incisive, and refreshing portrayal of China’s society and economy in the new millennium. It will be valuable for students, observers, and researchers interested in China and for all readers who want to understand the rapidly changing and globalizing world where the rise of China is increasingly a reality. (Fan, C Cindy)
This book provides an up-to-date, comprehensive survey of the various factors that have contributed to China’s recent emergence as a global economic power and the impact of success on its natural environment and people. The authors are to be congratulated for making a major contribution to the literature, distinguished by their insightful interpretations of each topic covered. All students and scholars interested in the new geography of China should read this book. (C. P. Lo)
A fascinating book, authoritative but not pedantic. One chapter each is devoted to Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan; the remaining 10 chapters cover various aspects of the human geography of mainland China . . . Highly recommended. (Choice)
This well-organized book . . . is a welcome addition. . . . Anyone looking for an up-to-date geography textbook on China should give this volume a close look. I also strongly recommend it as a general reader for people wanting to get a good overview of China. (Richard Louis Edmonds China Quarterly)
Written by four leading specialists, this thorough text on China's dramatic geographic transformation provides excellent analyses of the land, people, economy, and society in urban and rural China. Ideal for college students and the general public who wish to know the country better. (Laurence J. C. Ma)
