Zusammenfassung
"Rebecca Wong's book is a fascinating and expansive consideration of the flourishing underground illegal wildlife trade in China. ... This book has inspired me to consider the illegal wildlife trade in far greater depth-I hope that it inspires others to do the same. Overall, Wong should be commended for producing this excellent, expansive, and significant piece of work; I very much look forward to reading more of her work in the future."
