Library Journal Review

It just could be true what they say: China may well turn into the next world superpower. Just look at the stunning new architecture popping up everywhere. The 100 buildings described here by architectural critic Chan-all built at the turn of the century and many still in construction-attest to this country's rapid emergence as a force to be reckoned with.
