Product Information
A magnificently photographed natural history tour of China, from the frozen tundra of Siberia to the crowded streets of Beijing Within the vast borders of China, a dazzling array of ecosystems and habitats are found--wildlife habitats so diverse as to nearly stagger the imagination. From the world's loftiest mountain peaks to grass steppes that stretch beyond the horizon, from steaming jungles to wide deserts that fluctuate between searing heat and numbing cold, China's landscapes inspire awe and curiosity. Wild China leads the reader across China's landscapes and through thousands of years of history. Organized geographically, the book starts with a description of the Chinese heartland, then ventures on to cover the Manchurian forests, deserts, and grasslands; the Tibetan Plateau; tropical and temperate forests; limestone hills and caves; and the crowded coasts. The impact of China's 1.3 billion people on the nation's landscapes is also explored. The book concludes with a gazetteer and travel tips.

- l***o (7)- Feedback gegeven door koper.Afgelopen maandGeverifieerde aankoopThe book arrived in excellent and timely condition. Everything about it right down to the feel of the paper is a pulp-lover's dream. imho the book perfectly recreates the wonder of opening 1 of The Spider's fire-fueled classic 2-fisted adventures. Alex Ross-like illustrations perfectly set the tone for the knuckle-clenching nail-biting pulse-pounding action that follows.1 major criticism is use among the back-page title-adverts of an undoubtably racist yellow peril feature Mysterious Wu Fang.
- 1***d (26)- Feedback gegeven door koper.Afgelopen maandGeverifieerde aankoopBook is in great condition and even has a plastic cover to protect it.
- 1***d (26)- Feedback gegeven door koper.Afgelopen maandGeverifieerde aankoopThere is a page cut out in the middle of the book. Otherwise the book is a nice size about 9 x 12 inches and contains facts about the characters and activities.
