Summary:
The mighty
Yangtze
River
, the third-longest
river
in the world, is the birthplace of Chinese civilization. This book takes readers along this ancient transportation route, strategic natural boundary, and lifeblood of an agricultural society. The
river
flows eastward from the Tibetan Plateau, crossing thousands of miles before emptying into the East
China
Sea. Today, the
river
basin is home to about one-third of
China
's population. The near completion of the Three Gorges Dam has displaced more than a million people and changed the
river
's ecosystem dramatically. Built to control flooding, make the
river
more navigable, and supply energy, some fear it will harm the
region
's environment.
