WHEN A BILLION CHINESE JUMP: HOW CHINA WILL SAVE THE WORLD-OR DESTROY IT

Book ID/图书代码： 14936410B36575

English Summary/英文概要： An essential and incisive discussion on China today - a country on an environmental precipice that will affect the entire world.

When a Billion Chinese Jump tells the story of China’s – and the world’s – biggest crisis. With foul air, filthy water, rising temperatures and encroaching deserts, China is already suffering an environmental disaster. Now it faces a stark choice: either accept catastrophe, or make radical changes. Traveling the vast country to witness this environmental challenge, Jonathan Watts moves from mountain paradises to industrial wastelands, examining the responses of those at the top of society to the problems and hopes of those below. At heart his book is not a call for panic, but a demonstration that – even with the crisis so severe, and the political scope so limited – the actions of individuals can make a difference. Consistently attentive to human detail, Watts vividly portrays individual lives in a country all too often viewed from outside as a faceless state. No reader of his book – no consumer in the world – can be unaffected by what he presents.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 未來中國將幫助世界變綠還是變黑？!

中國世界強國之一，全世界人口最多的國家，它也許是全球經濟的新希望，但也能摧毀人類環境的元兇！混濁的空氣、污穢的水源、持續攀升的氣溫以及不斷因乾旱而成的荒地，而這些環境問題不僅是中國必須獨自面對的環境災難，也是影響全球人民未來生存的關鍵。
作者實際走訪中國大陸各鄉鎮從著名的山岳天境到荒廢的工業用地，以田野調查的方式真實的紀錄他所看見的危機。他特別強調揭漏「不願面對的真相」並不是威嚇世人為樂，而是以實際示範的方式，告訴所有人儘管如此嚴峻的環境危機、政客的眼界是如此有限，身為全球公民的我們依然能為環境做出些改變。 (VL)
