Terrific guide and wonderful information,
By
This review is from: Modern China: A Guide to a Century of Change (Hardcover)
I bought this book because I have had the good fortune to work on a number of teams at the b-school with a number of students from China. It seemed to me that I could benefit from knowing more about the China of today rather than the Red China I grew up with.The value of this book can best be described by the reaction of the Chinese students to it. They couldn't put it down. They flipped from topic to topic and talked about it with each other and with me. They praised the articles the book contains. It isn't a narrative. It is a series of articles on important topics and arranged alphabetically. It contains many valuable maps, photos, and diagrams. You can dive in the book anywhere and jump around to find things that interest you and just enjoy this book over and over again. Well done!

5.0 out of 5 stars
First-rate,
This review is from: Modern China: A Guide to a Century of Change (Hardcover)
This is a first-rate guidebook to the politics and economy of China in the 21st Century. From the Boxer Rebellion to the return of Hong Kong, here is the entire drama of modern China in a useful and readable dictionary format. Hutchings describes the country province-by-province, giving the reader insight into lesser-known areas of the country.
