When siblings Adèle and Simon visit their uncle in China, he buys them each gifts for their trip. Simon picks out a hat, a flute, a fan, and other small items, while his sister selects a camera to photograph their journey. As soon as they're packed and ready, it's time to set off with Uncle Sydney to explore! In a series of postcards home to their mother, Adèle describes each of the places they visit and the adventures they have... and, of course, what item Simon managed to lose at each stop along the way. On a silk farm in Shanghai, he loses his scarf. Along the Great Wall, his hat blows right off his head. By the end of the trip, Simon has misplaced all of his belongings! But when Adèle develops her photographs, she and her brother discover that they can see each of Simon's lost items in the background of the pictures. Barbara McClintock's meticulous research and intricate pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations bring this book to life, capturing the essence of each of the culturally and historically significant sites that Adèle and Simon visit. Children will love poring over the pictures to find Simon's lost items, and parents will value the authenticity of the art and story.

Most American books about China are written by Americans who have visited, lived, or worked in China. The authors believe that their experiences are a slice of what Chinese culture truly is. Lost In Interpretation: China Stories Told by a China Insider is not that type of book. Author Barbara Hong Li was born and raised in China but has lived and worked in the US for over twenty years, giving her a unique perspective on the similarities and differences between the two cultures. Barbara Hong Li takes questions that many Americans may have about China and reveals the history and culture surrounding the subject matter. Topics include: How have US China relations got here today? Why are the Chinese viewed as secretive? Is Chinese food in American Chinese restaurants actually Chinese? Why do the Chinese drink hot water? What is the difference between the two languages of Mandarin and Cantonese? Why do Chinese parents pressure their adult children to get married? What are some of the cultural taboos in China? Is "Hong Bao," a red envelop containing money, a Chinese way to say thank you or a form of bribery? There have been cultural misunderstandings and misinformation about China for decades. Barbara Hong Li is on a mission to open doors between the two countries she loves. Lost In Interpretation is a step in that direction.

Chiang Kai-shek was the man who lost China to the Communists. As leader of the nationalist movement, the Kuomintang, Chiang established himself as head of the government in Nanking in 1928. Yet although he laid claim to power throughout the 1930s and was the only Chinese figure of sufficient stature to attend a conference with Churchill and Roosevelt during the Second World War, his desire for unity was always thwarted by threats on two fronts. Between them, the Japanese and the Communists succeeded in undermining Chiang's power-plays, and after Hiroshima it was Mao Zedong who ended up victorious. Brilliantly re-creating pre-Communist China in all its colour, danger and complexity, Jonathan Fenby's magisterial survey of this brave but unfulfilled life is destined to become the definitive account in the English language.
