内容説明・目次
内容説明
The Mekong is one of the world's longest and most fascinating rivers, running south from its source in the Tibetan Plateau to its mouths in the South China Sea. It winds its way through the deep gorges of China's Yunnan province, passes through Laos and along the borders with Burma and Thailand, reaching maturity in the fertile plain of Cambodia. Finally, in southern Vietnam, it arrives at the delta of the "Nine Dragons" from whence its waters flow into the ocean. Despite having a turbulent and often troubled past, the Mekong has always extended a lifeline to the peoples who have lived along its banks for centuries, and today it holds a potential key to future development and prosperity. The book charts this mighty waterway from source to mouth, presenting it in all its moods and manifestations, and capturing its essential nature. This account brings the Mekong, a river destined to play a crucial role in the future development of this area of Asia, to life.
