FREE: The Search for Modern China

The listing, The Search for Modern China has ended.

This is a second edition. The first edition was more about the government crackdown against the Tiananmen democracy. This second edition shows how times have changed and the world is different. Deng Xiaoping is now dead, the Soviet Union had disintegrated into a number of republics. China now is absorbed in challenges, rewards and ambiguities in domestic growth and international financial scene. This is a very informative book. Soft cover, it has highlights, a couple of bent upper right corners inside, pencil outlines on some pages but none disrupts the read. I noticed the lower right corner on a few back pages are bent and there is a small rain stain on a few very back pages which are plain pages for a person's notes. This book has maps, pictures, notes and permissions, further readings area, glossary, and a large index. Also the blank pages in the back for note taking.
