Great Help with My Term Paper

This is a excellent book and was very useful for my term paper. It has a lot of background info on tons of subjects. I found the "recommended reading" list very helpful. And this book is very interesting reading. It is witty and fun to read.For somebody who did not know much about China, this book really filled in the picture.
