The Beijing Olympics focused the world's eyes on China. But despite increased tourism and rampant foreign investment, the cultural distance between China and the West remains as vast as the oceans that separate them. The Middle Kingdom is still relatively unknown by Westerners. China is in fact made up of 33 distinct regions populated by 56 ethnic groups -- and photojournalist Tom Carter has visited them all. This little book is a visual tribute to the People's Republic of China, with an ardent emphasis on the People.
Writer and photographer Tom Carter was born and raised in San Francisco and graduated with a degree in Political Science from the American University in Washington, D.C. Following a political career with a number of state and national campaigns, Tom spent 18 months backpacking down the length of Mexico and Central America. Most recently, Tom has spent the past four years in the People's Republic of China, where he made his own two-year Long March throughout all of the country's 33 provinces and autonomous regions - one of the few living Westerners able to make this claim. Tom's work as a photojournalist and travel writer has been published in many English-language periodicals in China. He currently lives in Beijing.
