AUTHORS, CREATORS, & SUPPORTERS

"Contemporary Chinese Societies:  Continuity and Change" was created by the University of Pittsburgh's Chinese Studies faculty.  These authors worked several years to write, edit, and photograph the material for this CD-ROM.  Their contributions are noted by author's initials at the end of each written segment, or within the by-lines in the photographs.
