This book is a compilation of humorous emails written to family and friends during the author's two years living in China. They moved to China in August 2000 hoping to escape the hectic lifestyle of living in San Francisco and allow their adopted Chinese daughter an opportunity to learn the language and culture of her birth country. This book chronicles their life and provides an intimate look into what it is like to live in China as an American family. It reveals how it affected the building of an identity for their Chinese-American daughter. The author writes about the numerous friends they made among the Chinese people from Glenn, their housekeeper, to the couple who sold tofu in the market. She describes shopping at the local market, ordering in local restaurants, and describes how the local Chinese live and work. This book describes their life, full of curiosities and adventures. Learn why Chinese men grow long their fifth finger nail, how to avoid disaster when traveling to Mongolia, how to cross the street, and the difficulties in purchasing and getting an egg from market to home. After reading the book you may be inspired to try your own adventure.

“Americans need not be hostile toward China's rise, but they should be wary about its eventual effects. The United States is the only nation with the scale and power to try to set the terms of its interaction with China rather than just succumb. So starting now, Americans need to consider the economic, environmental, political, and social goals they care about defending as Chinese influence grows.” —from “China Makes, the World Takes” Since December 2006, The Atlantic Magazine's James Fallows has been writing some of the most discerning accounts of the economic and political transformation occurring in China. The ten essays collected here cover a wide-range of topics: from visionary tycoons and TV-battling entrepreneurs, to environmental pollution and how China subsidizes our economy. Fallows expertly and lucidly explains the economic, political, social, and cultural forces at work turning China into a world superpower at breakneck speed. This eye-opening and cautionary account is essential reading for all concerned not only with China's but America's future role in the world.

A beautiful comprehensive collection of antique China and Shanghai-specific postcards which takes you through the colonial era of China, 1890-1945. The text is written by Felicitas Titus (M.A. in German and French Languages from U.C. Berkeley) who was born and raised in China during the years of 1925-1950, and who is an expert on Chinese history. Her commentary provides just enough explanation of the events and people of that period to make the postcards come alive. The entire book is filled with historically significant and lovely images, capturing Chinese life at that time.

Shanghai 1936. Word reaches the newsroom of the North China Daily-News that King Edward VIII is planning to marry an American divorcee, Mrs. Wallis Simpson, a one-time resident of Shanghai's International Settlement. Wallis Simpson has a thin but interesting file in the records of the Shanghai Municipal Police Department containing details of her activities in China-opium smoking, heroin peddling, learning the tricks of the trade at a high-class brothel and posing naked for naughty postcards. The lost negatives of Simpson immediately become sought after by the Shanghai police acting on behalf of the British Government, the Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, the notorious Green Gang, agents of Adolf Hitler and Emily Hahn, the China Coast correspondent for the New Yorker magazine. Instead they end up in the clumsy hands of two naive young Americans, Eli Swan and Luther Flood, who have little idea of their international significance or how much trouble they are in when they take the negatives with them on holiday to the nearby mountain resort of MOKANSHAN
