Beijing Coma

By Ma Jian

Dai Wei lies in his bedroom, a prisoner in his body, after he was shot in the head at the Tiananmen Square protest ten years earlier and left in a coma. As his mother tends to him, and his friends bring news of their lives in an almost unrecognisable China, Dai Wei escapes into his memories, weaving together the events that took him from his harsh childhood in the last years of the Cultural Revolution to his time as a microbiology student at Beijing University.

China Shakes the World

By James Kynge

“Let China sleep, for when she wakes, she

will shake the world.” Napoleon’s words seem

eerily prescient today, as the shock waves from

China’s awakening reverberate across the globe.

In China Shakes the World, the former China

bureau chief of the Financial Times, James

Kynge, traces these tremors from Beijing to

Europe to the Midwest as China’s ravenous

hunger for jobs, raw materials, energy, and food

— and its export of goods, workers, and

investments — drastically reshape world trade

and politics

Longitude

By Dava Sobel

Longitude is the dramatic human story of an epic scientific quest and of Harrison’s forty-year obsession with building his perfect timekeeper, known today as the chronometer. Full of heroism and chicanery. It is also a fascinating brief history of astronomy, navigation, and clockmaking, and opens a new window on our world.
