The World According to China by Elizabeth Economy

This book’s title is The World According to China. I found this book interesting. China does look at life very differently than the western world. China does seem to have a long term strategy for world domination. Throughout history, China has bullied its neighbors. It considered itself the Middle Kingdom, the land between heaven and earth. Look how quickly Vietnam made friends with the Americans after the Vietnam war. They did it as soon as they could because of their history of being bullied by China.

Beyond the Trees by Adam Shoalts

This book’s full title is Beyond the Trees: A Journey Alone Across Canada’s Arctic. This is another interesting adventure story by Adam Shoalts who takes his canoe across the northern part of Canada. This is such forbiting and rugged terrain he travels across. I have read all of Adam Shoalts books and I have also just bought but have not yet read his latest of Vanished Beyond the map.

I really liked the pictures in the book. They show what the far Canadian north is really like. It is quite wild and very beautiful.

There is a great review at Atlantic Books by Martin Bauman. Lisa Schuyler on her Lisa Blog has an interesting review of this book. And another interesting review on Australian Hiker.

An interesting little video on YouTube about this book with great pictures. There is a YouTube video called Alone Across the Arctic showing this trip of Adam Shoalts. The scenery is wonderful. You seldom get a chance to see what the north of Canada looks like.
