Abstract:
Where the Dragon Meets the Angry River is an incisive look at the possible fates of China and the planet. Will the Nujiang River continue to flow?

Far-reaching in its history and scope, this unique book shows us the real-world consequences of conservation and development decisions now being made in Beijing and beyond.
