Contents Description:

China's Yangtze River stretches over 4,000 miles from the Himalayan plateau to the sea. Along its banks live nearly 350 million people. Writing in the tradition of Fernand Braudel, Lyman Van Slyke shows how the Yangtze, over the millennia, has been the setting and the catalyst for key events and movements in Chinese history. - from the inside flap
