Candy's October Staff Pick

China: People, Place, Culture, History
By Alison Bailey
OVERSIZE DS 706 .C4873 2007



Despite the United States' current political issues with China, there is no doubt there have been significant contributions made by one of the largest and oldest nations on the planet. 

Strolling through the pages of this book I find many wonderful things that China has given us; tea, rice, acupuncture, silk, fireworks, an example of a group/family-oriented culture, Pandas, the Great Wall of China, bamboo, the invention of paper, Hong Kong, and Chinese food.
