#eng Much information about China
This Nelson-China together with the recent Vadell-China is just the right kind of source for current information about the old and new emerging world power.  The book begins the 5000-year long history of China with a cavalcade of some thirty dynasties ruling with changing success the world's largest country, measured by the size of the population of the present 1400 million inhabitants. The territory is versatilely described from the point of geography, fertility of the soil, variability of climate ruled by the monsoons influencing decisively the flora and fauna and the minds of the country. This period of systematic leaps to the present includes the already long known history of the Great Wall, the only man-made construction seen from the surface of the Moon, as proven by the moon-visiting astronauts. Other conspicuous wonders of China are the just quite recently discovered Terracotta Army and the all-over loved Giant Pandas. 
The history after dynasties, that is the period of the recent century, is characterized by astonishing turns in social, economic, and political life leading from the status of background to the tremendous forefront. True, by the brute force of a giant, but still more true by talented entrepreneurship of a great nation or better combination of several ones and diligent masses. 
My impression as a general reader is that a new Silk Road is being built more by peaceful means than a powerful threat by a big giant. All five stars for this greatly balanced and easily digested source of information.
#rus Много информации о Китае
Этот Nelson-China вместе с недавним Vadell-China - как раз подходящие источники для текущей информации о старой и новой развивающейся мировой державе. Книга начинает 5000-летнюю историю Китая с кавалькады примерно тридцати династий, правящих с переменчивым успехом в самой большой стране мира, измеряемой численностью населения нынешних 1400 миллионов жителей. Территория описывается разносторонне с точки зрения географии, плодородия почвы, изменчивости климата, управляемой монсоонами, решающим образом влияющими на флору и фауну и умы страны. Этот период систематических прыжков в настоящее включает в себя уже давно известную историю Великой Китайской стены, единственного сооружения, созданного руками человека, которое видно с поверхности Луны, что доказали астронавты, посещавшие Луну. Другие заметные чудеса Китая - это недавно обнаруженная Терракотовая армия и всеми любимые Гигантские Панды.
История после династий, то есть период последнего столетия, характеризуется поразительными поворотами в социальной, экономической и политической жизни, ведущими от статуса второстепенных к грандиозным событиям. Верно, грубой силой гиганта, но еще вернее талантливым предпринимательством великой нации или, лучше, сочетанием нескольких и прилежных масс.
У меня, как у обычного читателя, сложилось впечатление, что новый Шелковый путь строится в большей степени мирными средствами, чем мощная угроза со стороны большого гиганта. Все пять звезд за этот хорошо сбалансированный и легко усваиваемый источник информации.
#swe Mycket information om Kina
Detta Nelson-Kina är tillsammans med det senaste Vadell-Kina precis rätt typ av källor för aktuell information om den gamla och nya framväxande världsmakten. Boken börjar den 5000 år långa Kinas historia med en kavalkad av ett trettiotal dynastier som styr med förändrad framgång världens största land, mätt med storleken på befolkningen på de nuvarande 1400 miljoner invånarna. Territoriet beskrivs mångsidigt från geografisk plats, jordens bördighet, klimatvariationer som styrs av monsunerna som påverkar avgörande flora och fauna och landets sinnen. Denna period av systematiska hopp till nutiden inkluderar den redan länge kända historien om Kinesiska muren, den enda konstgjorda konstruktionen sett från Månens yta, vilket bevisats av månbesökande astronauter. Andra iögonfallande underverk i Kina är den helt nyligen upptäckta terrakottaarmén och de älskade jättepandorna.
Historien efter dynastier, det vill säga perioden under det senaste århundradet, kännetecknas av häpnadsväckande vändningar i det sociala, ekonomiska och politiska livet som leder från status som backgroud till den enorma fronten. Det är sant, med en jättes brutala kraft, men ännu mer sant med ett begåvat entreprenörskap av en stor nation eller bättre kombination av flera och flitiga massor.
Mitt intryck som allmän läsare är att den nya Silk-vägen byggs mer med fredliga medel än kraftfullt hot från en stor jätte. Alla fem stjärnor för denna mycket balanserade och lätt smälta informationskälla.
#fin Paljon tietoa Kiinasta
Tämä Nelson-Kiina yhdessä viimeaikaisen Vadell-Kiinan kanssa ovat juuri oikeat lähteet nykyisen tiedon saamiseksi vanhasta ja uudesta nousevasta maailmanvallasta. Kirja aloittaa Kiinan 5000 vuoden pituisen historian noin 30 dynastian kavalkadilla, joka hallitsee vaihtelevalla menestyksellä maailman suurinta maata mitattuna nykyisen 1400 miljoonan asukkaan väkiluvulla. Alue on monipuolisesti kuvattu maantieteellisesti, tiedoilla maaperän hedelmällisyydestä, ilmaston vaihtelusta, jota hallitsevat monsuunit, jotka vaikuttavat ratkaisevasti maan kasvistoon, eläimistöön ja mieliin. Tämä systemaattisten askelten polku sisältää jo pitkään tunnetun muurin, ainoan ihmisen tekemän rakennelman, joka voidaan havaita Kuun pinnalta, kuten sen todistavat kuussa vierailleet astronautit. Muita näkyviä Kiinan ihmeitä ovat vasta äskettäin löydetty terrakotta-armeija ja kaikkialla rakastetut jättiläispandat.
Dynastioiden jälkeiselle historialle, joka on viimeksi kuluneen vuosisadan jakso, on ominaista hämmästyttävät käänteet sosiaalisessa, taloudellisessa ja poliittisessa elämässä, jotka johtavat taka-alan asemasta valtavaan eturintamaan. Totta, jättiläisen raa'alla voimalla, mutta vielä enemmän totta suuren kansan tai paremminkin useiden kansojen yhdistelmän lahjakkaalla yrittäjyydellä ja ahkeruudella. 
Minä tavallisena lukijana olen sitä mieltä, että uutta silkkitietä rakennetaan enemmän rauhallisilla keinoilla kuin suuren jättiläisen väkevällä uhalla. 
Kaikki viisi tähteä tälle erittäin tasapainoiselle ja helposti sulavalle tietolähteelle.
