Book Description
Publisher description: China's economic rise has captured the world's imagination. At the forefront has been the Greater Pearl River Delta, a region consisting of Hong Kong, Macao, and part of Guangdong Province, whose unique and complex complementarities have created a regional powerhouse of global importance. The authors show how the Greater Pearl River Delta region has benefited from China's economic opening by combining the international orientation, business experience, and financial muscle of Hong Kong and Macao with the land, labor, and skills of the Chinese Mainland. They show how this combination has created an increasing number of world beating industries that have attracted companies and business people from all around the globe. They show how China's accession into the WTO strengthens the region's position in the national and international economies. Finally, they show how the region's trajectory will lead it to even greater prominence in the future.

Book Description
As the world's population exceeds an incredible 6 billion people, governmentsâ€"and scientistsâ€"everywhere are concerned about the prospects for sustainable development. The science academies of the three most populous countries have joined forces in an unprecedented effort to understand the linkage between population growth and land-use change, and its implications for the future. By examining six sites ranging from agricultural to intensely urban to areas in transition, the multinational study panel asks how population growth and consumption directly cause land-use change, and explore the general nature of the forces driving the transformations. Growing Populations, Changing Landscapes explains how disparate government policies with unintended consequences and globalization effects that link local land-use changes to consumption patterns and labor policies in distant countries can be far more influential than simple numerical population increases. Recognizing the importance of these linkages can be a significant step toward more effective environmental management.
