From Amazon.com:
<p>With <i>Anything Goes</i>, students with three years or more of modern Chinese language instruction, including those returning from study abroad in China, finally have an advanced, up-to-date reader to reinforce their language skills in one semester--while also expanding their understanding of contemporary China. Whether alone or as a sequel to <i>All Things Considered: Advanced Reader of Modern Chinese</i>, this state-of-the-art textbook is an ideal resource. The thirty lessons focus on articles that have appeared since 2002 in newspapers and magazines in China, Taiwan, and elsewhere. They deal with a colorful array of topics related to the economic, cultural, social, and political changes in China since the country's opening up in the early 1980s--from the "dangers" of the Internet, to marriage issues, to urban development's effects on traditional culture.</p><p> The lessons are concise, allowing a variety of topics to be covered in a semester. Each lesson is supplemented with extensive vocabulary lists, English-language glossaries, sentence-pattern examples, exercises, and discussion topics. Simplified and traditional characters are juxtaposed.</p><p> Field-tested both at Princeton University and in the Princeton in Beijing program, <i>Anything Goes</i> has already been warmly received by both students and teachers. It is now poised to be the definitive advanced reader of modern Chinese.</p>
