Download or read book River Town written by Peter Hessler and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2010-09-21 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book Winner of the Kiriyama Book Prize In the heart of China's Sichuan province, amid the terraced hills of the Yangtze River valley, lies the remote town of Fuling. Like many other small cities in this ever-evolving country, Fuling is heading down a new path of change and growth, which came into remarkably sharp focus when Peter Hessler arrived as a Peace Corps volunteer, marking the first time in more than half a century that the city had an American resident. Hessler taught English and American literature at the local college, but it was his students who taught him about the complex processes of understanding that take place when one is immersed in a radically different society. Poignant, thoughtful, funny, and enormously compelling, River Town is an unforgettable portrait of a city that is seeking to understand both what it was and what it someday will be.

Book excerpt: This is the Third Edition (2015) of HUNGRY RIVER. The main changes are the cover and publisher. The Second Edition (2011), still "out there," added photos to the First Edition (2005). The story itself has not changed with Editions Two and Three. In the midst of the 1900 Boxer Rebellion riots in China, Nils and Lizzie Newquist attempt to flee to safety down the treacherous Great Yangtze River. When rebel troops capture them, a fierce-faced commander takes one look at them and their children, then shouts to his men, "Where are the foreign devils? I see only white Chinese. Release them!" HUNGRY RIVER tells the story of this daring, missionary family struggling to survive in war-tormented China -- a story highlighted by their granddaughter Abbie's modern-day journal entries. Adventure, romance, danger and tragedy are all part of their story. But so are faith, hope, love and triumph. The sequels to HUNGRY RIVER are DRAGON WALL and JADE CROSS.

The Chinese people have always loved these mammals. They considered the Baiji to be a beautiful part of their river, and they have told many stories about them. Today, the Yangtze is a very different place. Trash floats in the water, and toxic chemicals pollute it. Thousands of boats travel up and down the river every day, and people use dangerous fishing equipment with sharp rolling hooks. The Yangtze River is no longer a safe place for the Baiji to live. Most of them have died out. Scientists worry that it might be too late for these dolphins. Is there any way to save them?
