The book is the outcome of a unique venture: a team of Chinese geographers and a team of American geographers collaborated on a new Comparative Geography of China and the United States. The book meets a high demand for comparative information about China and the United States, as the home of the two leading economies in a globalizing world. Comparisons of the two countries include the similarities and differences in their physical environments and natural hazards, the growth and changing spatial distribution of population and ethnic groups in China and the U.S., traditions and contemporary regional expressions of agriculture and food production as well as the rapidly changing urban and industrial patterns in both countries. The book also highlights the two countries' interconnectedness, in trade and in the exchange of cultural, social, scientific & technological information. The volume serves as a major resource in geographic education as it contributes to a better and more comprehensive understanding of the formation and development of the two countries' basic geographical patterns and processes.

Industry Reviews

From the book reviews:

"This book is the result of the collaboration of academics from both countries, providing the first true attempt to gain a fuller understanding of both the US and China by consistently providing similarities and contrasts between them. ... Complementing every chapter are a number of full-colored maps, many side-by-side, showing geographic patterns for each country. ... a rich bibliography from both countries concludes each chapter, providing added in-depth readings for further research. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above." (L. Yacher, Choice, Vol. 52 (7), March, 2015)
