"The photographs in this book were taken over a three-year period during which Nadav Kander followed the course of the Yangtze River upstream, from the coastal estuary to its source in the mountains of the Himalayas. His aim was to chart the consequences of the extraordinary pace of Chinese economic development upon the world's third largest river. In doing so he also illuminates the effects of this development on the lives and traditions of the people who live in the 186 cities and myriad towns and rural villages that line the banks of Yangtze - in all, a population greater than that of the United States." (Kofi A. Annan).
Illustrated with seventy-six breathtaking color photographs of the Yangtze and the effects of the economic development, partitioned into the sections "The Mouth, The Upstream, The Flooding and The Upper Beaches. Includes a full page map of the Yangtze River, artist's notes, index of photographs, German translation, and biography.
