I am an American Imagineer living over a decade in China and have written a book about it; The Tragic Kingdom or; Prisoner in a Chinese Theme Park, (found on most book dealer websites; Amazon, Barnes and Noble etc), is a behind-the-scenes look into the field of design and build in China. The book is a profile of the personalities, culture, and psychology of the worlds most massive looming superpower as seen through the eyes of an ex-pat American. I have lived and worked in China for over ten years, competing within their system, making my way as everything from a freelance artist in small operations to a senior designer for large corporations. I have witnessed a formidable decade in which China has commanded a modern presence on the world stage. I have participated in the planning, designing, and building of mega-theme parks in Beijing, world-class aquariums in Shanghai, gigantic malls in the Pearl Delta, resorts in Tibet, and panda relocation projects in the foothills of the Himalayas. The true stories and themes found in The Tragic Kingdom, spring from one mans journey. At the same time they disclose truths about a globalization that eventually will impact every economy, lifestyle, and person on the planet.
