Biographie de l'auteur
James Hendry is a development economist with a doctorate from Columbia University. Early in his career he was a member of the Michigan State University Advisory Group in Viet Nam, from which came a book, "The Small World of Khanh Hau," which analyzes the economy of a village in the Mekong Delta. He subsequently became a member of the Harvard Advisory Group in Pakistan, serving as advisor on agricultural planning for the then Provincial Government of East Pakistan, now the independent nation of Bangladesh. On the basis of this experience he was recruited by the World Bank where he was associated with Bank lending efforts in the agricultural sector of countries in North Africa, Sub-Sahara Africa and South Asia. His end-of-career position with the Bank was as its Ombudsman, during which time he also served on the Board of Directors of the Corporate Ombudsman Association.
Présentation de l'éditeur
Three years, a period during which the Nationalist Party dynasty in China was replaced by a Communist Party dynasty and a lovely historic city changed its name from Peip'ing to Beijing, serve as the backdrop to a personal memoir of two young people who happened to be witness to this historic transition. This is a story of how they came to be in China, how they met, fell in love, married, changed one career and re-oriented another, started a family, and coped with the events taking place around them during this turbulent period. Sometimes naive, sometimes self-centered, sometimes happy and sometimes worried, the events in the lives of this couple were not untypical of other young Americans who ventured abroad for the first time mid-way through the Twentieth Century.
