This review is from: Understanding Contemporary China (Paperback)

Compiled and edited by Robert E. Gamer (Professor of Political Science, University of Missouri-Kansas City) Understanding Contemporary China offers an impressive and diverse body of contemporary scholarship focused upon economic, political, social, cultural, geographic, literary, environmental, and historical aspects of China. Enhanced with maps, tables, statistics, and photography, Understanding Contemporary China ranges from Stanley W. Toops' "China: A Geographic Preface"; to John Wong's "China's Economy"; to Ma Rong's "Population Growth and Urbanization"; to Laurel Bossen's "Women and Development"; to Chan Hoiman and Ambrose Y. C. King's "Religion"; and more. Understanding Contemporary China is a seminal body of work and a very strongly recommended addition to China Studies academic reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
