Review of CHINA: Portrait of a People

This book is awesome. And it stands as my introduction to China. I had no idea that the ethnic make-up of that country was so diverse. The book is neatly split up into 33 sections, each section representing a province in China, and you trace photographer's Tom Carter's odyssey. As he explains in the book he traveled without money and lived among the people, traveling anyway he could, like a modern day Jack Kerouac. I really admire Tom Carter and I truly love this book. Great photographs that give you a true sense of time and place. This one is a keeper. A+
