(All Under Heaven transports us to the almost unbelievably...)
All Under Heaven transports us to the almost unbelievably varied world of China: the regional rain forests of the south; the Immense Gobi desert to the north; the foothills of the Tibetan Plateau to the west; arid, scrubby plains; lushly farmed, terraced fields and hills; impeccably orchestrated formal gardens; fragile bamboo forests; and more. This is a book of breathtaking visual and intellectual discover; equally so for those of us who have traveled to China and for those who never will.
