In his best-selling debut China Cuckoo, Mark Kitto described how he "lost a fortune and found a life in China". In That's China, the thrilling prequel, he tells the story of how he made that fortune. For seven roller-coaster years Kitto outwitted competitors and jealous partners to build the most profitable and popular English language publishing business in China since 1949.

Revisado: 11-26-21
Mark’s story is fascinating for anyone with experience in China, especially during that era 20 years ago. I actually worked for the officials in Yangzhou a few years later for a magazine called That’s Yangzhou. I arrived fresh off the boat back then and had no idea about the backstory until now over 15 years later. That’s Yangzhou only survived two years.
I’ve never had such a personal connection to a book like this. One of the most memorable things I’ve read in years. Highly entertaining and terrifying.

Our insatiable demand for animals - for jewelry, pets, medicine, meat, trophies, and fur - is driving a worldwide poaching epidemic, threatening the continued existence of countless species. Rachel Nuwer, an award-winning science journalist with a background in ecology, takes listeners on a narrative journey to the front lines of the trade: to killing fields in Africa, traditional medicine black markets in China, and wild meat restaurants in Vietnam. Through exhaustive first-hand reporting that took her to 10 countries, Nuwer explores the forces currently driving the demand.

Excellent snapshot of the devastating wildlife trade
Revisado: 10-16-18
The most thorough and engaging book I’ve seen on this surprisingly complex issue. Great writing and refreshingly solid narration performance. The story covers the main issues around the most prominent wildlife trade species at the moment: elephants, rhinos, tigers, pangolins, and bears.
Highly recommend this book, and hope it inspires more support for efforts at protecting this vanishing wildlife.

What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research. Humorous, surprising, and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.

exhuasting drivel
Revisado: 06-11-18
I found Peterson's interviews and videos interesting, but this book is an exhuasting mess. Couldn't finish chapter 2. Very surprised by all the positive reviews. I got almost nothing out of the 2 hours spent listening.
