1.The Man Who Loved China: The Fantastic Story of the Eccentric Scientist Who Unlocked the Mysteries of the Middle KingdomThe Man Who Loved China: The Fantastic Story of the Eccentric Scientist Who Unlocked the Mysteries of the Middle Kingdom
from Harper
Price: $18.45

Customer Review:
The problem with this book is that Simon Winchester is grinding them out of the "mill" now. When an author produces books beyond a certain rate, they tend to become formulaic and by-the-numbers. Everything that was fresh in "the professor and the madman" has become a stale formula in this book. Its... more info

3.A Bull in China: Investing Profitably in the World s Greatest MarketA Bull in China: Investing Profitably in the World's Greatest Market
from Tantor Media
Price: $22.79

Customer Review:
Anytime someone makes you a lot of money, you tend to become a fan. And so I am a fan of Jim Rogers. I believe this man makes a lot of sense when he talks economics. I learned this by reading his earlier books about driving around the world. He admits to being a lousy trader. But he is great at... more info

4.The Art of WarThe Art of War
from Tantor Media
Price: $15.64

Customer Review:
The Art of War is overrated in relation to more recent works, notably The Prince, On War, and The Book of Five Rings, and many Roman and Greek texts could be mentioned, for differing reasons.
The Prince was written during the tumult of the cultural and linguistic formation of early Italy (as... more info

from audible.com
Price: $15.73

Customer Review:
I had been excited to see a new novel by one of my favorite authors and wanted more than anything to buy it. But when I read the reviews, I was daunted by the number of people recomending me NOT to read the book.
Nevertheless, I found myself at Borders with a dilhema - to replace my missing... more info

6.1421: The Year China Discovered America (P.S.)1421: The Year China Discovered America (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
A must read and a corrective of the present history of the discovery of America by Columbus. The cruelness of the emperor and his vision of a great "market" and "friends" across the seas are truly fascinating and understandable, yet frightening. The "proofs" and evidence presented make this the most... more info

from Vintage
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:

The women ancestors of a geeky Chinese-American girl pile up impressive resumes, no worries ! They are kungfu heroines, joining peasant armies that overthrow the very Imperial throne. They are doctors who brave ghosts and come to America. They are mothers and grandmothers who remain staunchly... more info

9.The Web That Has No Weaver : Understanding Chinese MedicineThe Web That Has No Weaver : Understanding Chinese Medicine
from McGraw-Hill
Price: $14.93

Customer Review:
five stars because could't give more. Definitely interesting. It is a good source for the non oriental student of chinese medicine. Not abstract mysticism but instead a non passionate discourse of the phylosophical background of TCM
