Title: Taiwan Today

Publisher: Woodshed Publishing House

Contents: The book contains 22 major topics affecting Taiwan’s social development in recent years, including the formation of a vibrant and pluralized society, unemployment, the aging population, foreign laborers, foreign brides, and nuclear power. It also covers some hot social topics, such as the issuance of a national lotto giving local people boundless hope; betel-nut Xishi (beauty), who has become a major scenic attraction in Taiwan’s suburbs; the twin-card debt storm; the emergence of shopping centers; and the cycling craze sweeping Taiwan. In addition, it talks about Taipei’s mass rapid transit system, which has altered the lifestyle of the city citizens and the look of the city, as well as the high-speed railway, which will greatly vitalize Taiwan’s economic development and narrow the gap between the rural and urban areas.

In sum, this is a book that enables expatriates to get a firm handle on the current state of the society in which they are living and working.

Don Shapiro, editor-in-chief of Topics, writes in his foreword for the book that “Whether readers are already familiar with the story of Taiwan’s transformation over recent decades or relatively new to the subject, they will find this volume to be a valuable recounting of Taiwan’s progress from an agricultural to an industrial society, from poverty to affluence, and from authoritarian rule to vibrant democracy.”
