TAIWAN

Explore the history of this island, its complex relationship with mainland China, and its transformation from agricultural society to industrialized nation. Read about the many religions of Taiwan, explore the arts and culture of Taiwan's tribal minorities, and listen to the legend of Ban Pin Mountain and its Spirit's ancient quest for one person of pure heart. Learn how acupuncture and herbal healing have been practiced in Taiwan for more than 2500 years, and how "Western" medicine is now increasingly available as well. Discover delicious Taiwanese specialties and read about the importance of tea in both traditional and modern society. Articles on two popular but very different pastimes - puppetry and baseball - are included as well. Also covered are Taiwan's annual Teacher's Day ceremony and the significance of education in that country.
