Keywords:
Hsieh (emeritus, geography, U. of Pittsburgh) and Lu (geography, Kansas State U.), concentrating on "post-reform" China, present 26 papers appraising human geographic change in China in terms of its economy, society, and boundaries. Each of the papers consist of overviews of their particular topics, which include such considerations as trade and investment links with the Pacific Rim, agricultural growth and food supply, land use change, demographic change and internal migration, gender differences in industry, suburbanization, and relations between the provinces and the central state.

Changing China: A Geographic Appraisal provides an up-to-date and detailed account of the giant country that is undergoing an unparalleled and historic transition from a centralized command economy to a market-based economy, and from a rural, agricultural society to an urban, industrial power. Contributions from a distinguished team of geographers both inside and outside of China are divided into three parts that assess, respectively, economic changes since the reform of 1978, recent social transformations, and changes along China's peripheries including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Xin-jiang, and inner Mongolia. An introductory chapter provides an overview of major themes. Includes a chronology of major events in Chinese history and a glossary of Chinese terms.


An international team of geographers examines the evolving economic and social trends in contemporary China.
