Reviews / Votes
`The papers in these two volumes are well researched with statistics and provide useful insights ... The papers in each volume are about equal in length so that a balance is maintained among the five topics of study. They provide not only a detailed description of facts but also some useful analyses linking the regional characteristics to the overall economic development of China ... the publication of this series of volumes on regional development inChina is to be welcomed. If future volumes maintain the same high standard as these two, they can be employed as supplementary texts for a university course on the geography of China. The papers are factual,
succinct, perceptive and up-to-date.'
