Abstract
China presents its own people and the rest of the world with a quite bewildering complexity, not only because of its size and variation, but also owing to the rapid pace of change. This book is an attempt at making some sense of a few key aspects of these complexities, through the research of a group of people (most of them geographers in Britain) working on various components of the demographic, regional and environmental systems.
