About this title

Reviews

Gr 6 Up-Green's well-written overview offers detailed and varied descriptions of this enormous and complex country. Organization is a key asset of the book and the narrative is smooth flowing and chock-full of information, with many textual sidebars to catch readers' interest. The book concludes with a particularly apt epilogue called "The Next Superpower?" Black-and-white photographs and maps are strategically interspersed throughout. A "Facts About China" section presents up-to-date data. Names are written in pinyin, the alphabetized form currently used to romanize Chinese characters. Whether the need is for brief facts or in-depth research, this book will assist students.-Alida F. Given, Fairhope Intermediate School, AL
