Best China Travel Book
The National Geographic Traveler China provides a very well balanced guide...gives excellent background...so the traveler can interpret and experience the wonders of China through high quality text, pictures and maps.
As for knowledge of China. The author of National Geographic Traveler China (Damian Harper) co-authored several guides of China, Beijing, and Hong Kong for Lonely Planet. To validate...click the D. Harper\'s name near the book title above. Same author...but with the quality of National Geographic.
I received a copy of the Lonely Planet China as a gift. I am neutral about the book. Good general information. However...China is so dynamic and changing...it doesn\'t ring true in many cases. I ended up with many dead-ends and wasted time based upon the book
The Lonely Planet guide is for those that have not travelled much...and as a starting point. But those that have past international travel experience will find it much too basic and generic.
Nat\'l Geographic will provide a comprehensive pretrip planning guide so you can best tailor your trip and will enhance your experience while visting.

China, Inc. : How the Rise of the Next Superpower Challenges America and the World by Ted C. Fishman
Excellent
The shift of power is in play. The world may have more than one super power in the not so far future. This book does an excellent job of making this case. We should have more books like this to expose the global trends that will affect our day to day life.
