Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A logo on products ranging from chopsticks and toilet paper to cell phones and automobiles, the panda is one of the most ubiquitous images in China and throughout the world. Yet the panda holds little notable historical significance in China. Although it has existed in the territory of present-day China since the Pliocene epoch, its widespread popularity there is not only recent, but almost sudden. In Panda Nation, E. Elena Songster links the emergence of the giant panda as a national symbol to the development of nature protection in the People's Republic of China. The panda's transformation into a national treasure exemplifies China's efforts in the mid-twentieth century to distinguish itself as a nation through government-directed science and popular nationalism. The story of the panda's iconic rise offers a striking reflection of China's recent and dramatic ascent as a nation in global status.

Tai Shan, the panda cub born at the Smithsonian's National Zoological Park, whose first months of life have attracted millions of rapt visitors to the Zoo website's panda cam! Panda Cam tracks the increasingly ridiculous cuteness of Tai Shan, the National Zoo's baby panda, over his first seven months as shown through the Zoo website's "panda cam" -- a camera continually trained on the Fujifilm Giant Panda Habitat to capture his every move. With an introduction by Susan Lumpkin, director of communications of Friends of the National Zoo, providing an overview of Tai Shan's life so far, these adorable color photos with corresponding captions feature Tai Shan's cutest moments -- snuggling with his mom, taking his first steps, lounging in his beloved tub, munching on bamboo, climbing trees, and frolicking in the snow. Given the media frenzy that has surrounded every move of the cub's young life, Panda Cam is sure to cause panda-monium among the millions of fans of this panda cub superstar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how the extraordinary impact of the panda—from obscurity to fame—is also the story of China’s transition from shy beginnings to center stage. Giant pandas have been causing a stir ever since their formal scientific discovery just over 140 years ago. Yet in spite of humankind’s evident obsession with the giant panda, it is only in the last few decades that scientific research has begun to show us what this mysterious, frequently misunderstood creature is really like. Henry Nicholls uses the rich and curious history of the giant panda to do several things: to ponder our changing attitudes toward the natural world; to offer a compelling history of the conservation movement; and to chart the rise of modern China on its journey to become the self-sufficient, twenty-first-century superpower it is today.
