Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Travelers' Handbook for China (Including Hongkong): With Nine Maps and Plans and Numerous Illustrations With an edition so thoroughly revised it was thought that the work of bringing out a third edition would be a very simple matter. But once the work of revision was undertaken it was found that China has changed tremend ously in the past few years. Scarcely a paragraph of the second edition has been allowed to stand unchanged and the work of revision which it was thought could be completed m a few months has dragged out over the better part of a year. As in former editions every effort has been made to bring the volume up to date but it is offered to the pub lic with the realization that no book of this character on a country which is changing so rapidly as China can ever be completely accurate. I wish to express my grateful appreciation to the many friends who have helped 1n the revision of this edition and especially to Mrs. Samuel Gouling who has patiently and painstakingly read all of the proofs and whose superior know ledge of China has added greatly to the value of this book.

HISTORICAL SKETCH President Yuan Shift K'ai ANDED down from generation to generation in the form of legends, or written by chroniclers who had more desire to produce literary works of merit, than to make true records of past events, there is much that is obscure in the early history of China, and a great part of that which the Chinese historians have apparently made clear is disputed by more critical foreign students. Certainly a great deal of it is so entwined with the mythical and fantastic legends of a primitive people, that it is difficult to distinguish the true from the fanciful. For the purposes of this sketch, we need not concern ourselves with the disputed facts but will briefly consider the main points of the long story, as taught and believed by the Chinese themselves. The Chinese are not the original inhabitants of the country which they now occupy, but migrated from Western Asia about 2700 B. C, and settled near the present city of Siau-fu, ou the Yellow river in Shensi. As the newcomers grew in number, their settlements extended, following the courses of the rivers into the present provinces of Szechuan, and Kiaugsi. The original inhabitants were displaced by the Chinese and formed new settlements in various parts of the country, apart from the newcomers. These aboriginal tribes still exist in the Lolos, Shans and Miaotzes, living in Szechuan, Kweichow, Yunnan, Kwantung, and Kwangsi and on the islands of Formosa and Hainan. In the more than 4000 years they have been associated with the Chinese, they have lived apart, have resented all intrusions by the .Chinese and there has been no mixture of blood. The historical period of the Chinese begins with the reign of the three emperors, who in a remarkably short space of time...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Little Journey to China: For Intermediate and Upper Grades The traveler meets with many difficulties in China. There are few railroads; the boats, Ou the rivers and canals are not very attractive to Americans and Euro peans; camels are not pleasant riding to strangers; the sedan-chair and the wheelbarrows cramp one too much for Comfort; and the roads are so miserable and crooked that walking is both unpleasant and dangerous, for a Chinaman wants the roads ffom one village to another to wind about SO much that an evil spirit wandering in them will likely get lost and not find the way to the Chinaman's house. Both the officials and the common people fought the introduction of railroads into China. This opposition was due partly to the fear that it would open the way for missionaries and other foreigners to get in easily, and partly to the fear that it would anger evil Spirits and cause them to bring great misfortunes On the peo ple. So great was the opposition to' railroads twenty five years ago that, even after a Short one had been built from Shanghai to Wusung, the authorities bought it and destroyed it.

Book excerpt: Not many of us can claim to have dipped our handkerchiefs in Charles I's blood after his execution, or to have watched Vesuvius erupt, but that's about to change... Wyllie, Acton & Goldblatt's Time Travel Handbook offers eighteen exceptional trips to the past, transporting you back to the greatest spectacles in history. We offer the chance to join Henry VIII at the Field of the Cloth of Gold, and to march on Versailles with the revolutionary women of Paris. You can sail with Captain Cook to Tahiti and Australia, and spend time at Xanadu with Marco Polo and Kubla Khan. Or, closer to the present, you might accompany Charlie Parker at the birth of bebop or The Beatles in Hamburg, and take part in the VE Day celebrations in London or the Fall of the Berlin Wall. The notable authors and time travel agents, Wyllie, Acton & Goldblatt are your guide to these and other unmissable events, charting the action as it will unfold, and advising on local customs, and what to wear, eat and drink, for the most authentic of experiences. Forget museums, forget history books - the only way to do history is to live it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embrace the culture and get the most out of your time in China. Going to China for the first time can be an intimidating experience, even for those who have studied the language. In fact, traveling to China for the second, third, or fourth time can also be a challenging experience, especially if you intend to be fully immersed in daily life, get off the beaten path, and experience the "real" China. This China etiquette and culture guide is about how to get things done in China. Decoding China gives you down-to-earth information on how to deal with everyday situations--like eating at a restaurant or shopping at an outdoor market--that present unique and unexpected challenges for foreign visitors. Why being polite when you board a bus is a big mistake Finding a toilet (and what to bring along!) How to bargain for anything in a Chinese market Which train ticket to buy--hard seat? Soft seat? How the Chinese view privacy, and why it may make you seem suspicious Working in a Chinese office, and the politics of lunch As the Academic Director at the Chinese Flagship Center of Brigham Young University, Dr. Matthew B. Christensen has seen countless foreigners arrive in China…and fail to accomplish simple tasks like ordering food, boarding a bus, or making friends with a Chinese colleague. Why? Because they didn't understand China's basic cultural codes. This travel book will help you crack these codes. And with it, you'll soon be able to navigate your way in any situation.
