The Geographical Transformation of China (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Dunford, Michael; Weidong, Liu

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In 11 chapters, 27 leading scientists, mostly Chinese, provide a truly collaborative work on ChinaâEUR(TM)s current status. Written mostly from a socioeconomic perspective, this volume provides an insider's look at China not readily available in English. Most chapters include case studies, giving readers an opportunity to look at detailed analyses in an otherwise general treatise on the transformation of the country. Linking economic growth, population expansion, transportation, and urban alterations results in an important read for those interested in China. A plethora of tables and maps complemented by a rich, largely obscure bibliography enriches the book significantly.
