China Direct is delighted to announce the imminent publication on July 14th of Jonathan Watts' first book "When a Billion Chinese Jump".
This unique and unsettling look at China's worsening natural environment and the government's policy responses to its huge environmental pressures is a must-read for businesses, policymakers and China watchers alike.
James Kynge, author of "China shakes the world", describes it as "the book on China and climate change that the world has been waiting for".

Jon Watts is the Guardian's Asia Environment Correspondent and is based in Beijing.
