Chinese Water

The Water Margin is one of the most popular classics of early Chinese literature. It tells the vigorous story of 108 characters who, falling foul of the established state authorities, are forced to become outlaws. They form a bandit community in Liangshan Marsh, becoming such a formidable force in their own right that they threaten the power of government itself.

In the sphere of future global politics, no region will be as hotly contested as the Asia-Pacific. This is where authoritarian China is trying to rewrite international law and challenge the democratic values of the US and its allies. No other Asian country can take on China alone. The US too may be ill-equipped for the job at hand. If China does get away with seizing and militarizing waters here, what will it do elsewhere, and who will be able to stop it? Asian Waters breaks down the politics - and tensions - seen through this region for years.

What if your life wasn’t a race to the finish line—but a painting in progress? What if every day could feel more like wandering through a mountain path, resting by a flowing river, or breathing beneath an open sky? In Shan Shui: Designing Your Inner Landscape, author Rick T. Fu introduces listeners to the ancient Chinese art of shan shui (山水—literally “mountain-water”) and shows how it offers a timeless blueprint for modern life. For centuries, Shan Shui was more than painting.

Rise of the Water Margin immerses the listener in a near-future world grounded in American and Chinese cultural and political landscapes bickering over climate responsibility, wherein technology challenges humanity to redefine its relationship with the Earth. Superpowers seek to leverage and subvert technology to further political ambitions while losing sight of human elements beyond their control.

Water has been so integral to China's culture, economy, and growth and development that it provides a window on the whole sweep of Chinese history. In The Water Kingdom, renowned writer Philip Ball opens that window to offer an epic and powerful new way of thinking about Chinese civilization. Water, Ball shows, is a key that unlocks much of Chinese culture.
