This comprehensive guide will facilitate scholarly research concerning the history of Christianity in China as well as the wider Sino-Western cultural encounter. It will assist scholars in their search for material on the anthropological, educational, medical, scientific, social, political, and religious dimensions of the missionary presence in China prior to 1950.The guide contains nearly five hundred entries identifying both Roman Catholic and Protestant missionary sending agencies and related religious congregations. Each entry includes the organization's name in English, followed by its Chinese name, country of origin, and denominational affiliation. Special attention has been paid to identifying the many small, lesser-known groups that arrived in China during the early decades of the twentieth century. In addition, a special category of the as yet little-studied indigenous communities of Chinese women has also been included. Multiple indexes enhance the guide's accessibility.

New Green World, first published in 1954, is a fascinating look at the life of American naturalist John Bartram (1699-1777) and his explorations across the newly formed United States. At his home near Philadelphia, he established America's first botanical garden, which exists to the present day. The book details his travels and interactions with prominent figures of his day, and his many discoveries and collections of plants unique to the Americas. Author's note from the first edition dust-jacket: I began to be interested in the Bartrams, father and son, because of a flower in my Pennsylvania garden but I stayed with them through New Green World because they were so alive, though long dead. Living for more than themselves, they were unafraid of new horizons and so their story breaks through parochial notions of our historical past to reach around the world. Long neglected, the Bartrams broke ground for Audubon, Thoreau and many others. The plants they rescued from the wilderness survive; the vitality of their search speaks to us today.
