Interesting and enlightening

This book explains a lot of what the Chinese culture is about. Everything from why some of the more rural areas hold particular animals in esteem or disdain; and how the cultural mindset of 'the greater good' is reflected in the way they conduct their lives. Entertaining and informative.

P**S

Kindle edition CAN NOT BE DOWNLOADED to a Windows device!

Please note! I have no quarrel with the content of this book. The problem is with "Amazon Kindle" edition!Amazon boldly claims in its promotions:"Buy once, read everywhere. Sign in with an Amazon account, and sync Kindle books across all your devices that have the Kindle app installed and across any Kindle device."Not true at all!When shopping for books, you may have noticed a tiny clickable link buried down where it gives the book's description (number of pages etc.) The link says "Available on these devices". I've clicked that link from time to time and it just seems to be yet another Kindle advertisement bragging about how many types of devices have Kindle applications. Well, apparently that is not the case. If you click the link for this particular link, it lists just about every type of device except Microsoft Windows and iPhones.hmmmmmm. "Across all your devices"? Nope! I wonder how many other hidden traps Amazon has out there that keep Amazon supplied content from running on Amazon software!I will also point out that when I bring up this title in my Amazon account there is a message that says: "You already own this item. Read anytime on your Kindle apps and devices." And if you click the link for the word "apps" it brings up a screen that specifically lists Windows. Caveat emptor! (Let the buyer beware!)

Very insightful, but the characters don't show up.

As others have mentioned, it is a very interesting and insightful book with much useful information.My only complaint is that the Chinese Hanzi characters are not showing up on my Kindle. I appreciate the pinyin and the translation, but I would like to also see the Hanzi characters that go with them instead of little rectangles.
