China is a country of many faces, and this book attempts to capture as many of them as possible. The book moves from the great cities of Shanghai and Beijing in the east to the natural wonders of Tibet and Yunnan in the west, capturing on film the grandeur of Tiananmen Square and the power and beauty of a remote Chinese fishing village. The text keeps pace with the photographs, giving the reader an introduction to Chinese history, culture, art, and language. Johnny Erling is as insightful in his explanation of the building of the Great Wall as he is in his explication of the tenets of Confucianism.
