Three Gorges of the Yangtze River by Raynor Shaw
The 3,965 mile-long (6,380 kilometer-long) Yangtze river, which flows from the barren snowfields of Tibet to the fertile delta near Shanghai, has been a main trade artery for 2,000 years. This book describes the landscape, economy and social history of the river between Chongqing and Wuhan.
Dr. Raynor Shaw was born in England. After studying geography and geology at London and Edinburgh universities, specialising in geomorphology, he worked in Canada, lecturing in geomorphology at McMaster University, and in West Africa and Venezuela, prospecting for alluvial diamonds. Since 1983, he has worked as a geologist in Hong Kong. Raynor is a keen traveler with a particular passion for China and Asia.
