Warren Rodwell has just finished proofreading a 150,000 word (over 400 pages)
book about Chengdu and Sichuan Province in south-west China. It is due to be
published as soon as reasonably possible.



To provide interested readers of Asia-Expats Forum with some idea of
the book's content, parts of the preface have been reproduced below.

Thanks

Nothing beats local knowledge & the literature you are about to
peruse, has been translated from Chinese to English, in a sincere
attempt to present an accurate account of significant activities
& useful information, previously not readily known to foreigners
with their sights set on this charming locality and its fascinating
surrounds.



Ideally, translation should be more than simply changing the words
of one language into another. It is understood and appreciated that
people from different cultures process & disseminate data differently.
Low-context cultures (e.g. North America, the British Isles, Australia,
& the Scandinavian countries) are much more precise in their commun-
ication. High-context cultures (such as China) are the exact opposite.

All due care has been taken to
make this book as readable &
fluent as possible in English .....

Consider this book your local friend in Sichuan, as it takes you through topics such as –
geography, climate, ecological environment, history, people, culture and customs. The
section on facts for the visitor is a valuable resource in itself. As too, are recommended
touring routes.You can acquire with ease, some common wisdom of Chengdu urbanites.



[Sichuan is located at about the centre of the above map]

Vital and practical directions are given with respect to which local buses or
other transport to catch, as well as how much the fares & accommodation
will set you back. Legends & folk tales are recounted in a quaint & colourful
way. This hopefully instils an affectionate & closer affinity with this time-
honoured land & its various occupants.



Whether your specific interest is in martial arts,Chinese traditional medicine,
religion,investment,cultural studies,tourism,education,work,or entertainment;
this publication is a reliable compendium of usefulness,which can be absorbed
either ferociously or at leisure.You may care to carry it with you on exotic
adventures, display it on a coffee table or bookshelf, exhibit it as an office
showpiece, or otherwise present this limited edition as a gift to those you
hold in high esteem.

Cool

Not yet, Simon Shocked

The publishers need to firstly print it.
Then, I'll try to advise regarding outlets

You really need to come to Chengdu yourself
to determine whether they are up your alley.

Quote:
Australian Publishing Company to Promote Chengdu Globally

Lonely Planet, a famous Australian publishing company, has inked a cooperation agreement that it will issue a travel guide of Chengdu by the end of this year. As one of the most influential publishing companies in the world, it is the first time that Lonely Planet, which is reputed for its privileged series of travel guide books, publishes a guide book focusing on only one city since it was established 30 years ago. The guide books published by the company are praised by self-help tourists as the “Bible for Self-help Travel”.

The authors of Lonely Planet will come to Chengdu to have one-month survey. The Chengdu travel guide book of Lonely Planet will be published by the end of this year, offering tourists around the world a 60-page guide book with abundant pictures. Local famous scenic spots including the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, Jinsha Site Museum, Dujiangya Irrigation System and the Temple of Marquis Wu will be recommended in the book. Besides, the introduction to local food, accommodation, bus routes and shops will be included in the book.

The circulation of the first batch of Chengdu travel guide books will hit 5 volumes, which will be published in English. The editions in other languages will be issued later.
